Child 44 Chapter 58 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Moscow, 18 July

  • Leo is back in Major Kuzmin's office in Moscow. Kuzmin isn't there, however, having been arrested after Stalin's death.
  • The new boss, Major Grachev, is thanking Leo for stopping Andrei. Still, he contends that such murders could only be the work of a "Nazi agent" (4.58.5).
  • Leo is getting his old life back. Even his parents are returning to their former home.
  • Leo just has one request: to open the brand-new "Moscow homicide department" (4.58.17). He also wants General Nesterov to be a part of the division, as well. We smell a spin-off.
