Child 44

In Stalin-era Soviet Union, a disgraced security officer is sent away after refusing to accept an official explanation for a child’s death. When similar cases emerge, he investigates a pattern while facing political pressure, personal danger, and a system determined to deny that such crimes can exist.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like grim historical crime dramas such as The Frozen Ground, but Not for you if you prefer tightly focused mysteries, brisk pacing, or polished action.
