Anna Levitskaya is loyal to the party and so need not fear being taken away in a Black Mariah. Only dissidents and rebels are sent to the Gulags, not upright citizens like Anna. She keeps her head down and works hard at the factory, always careful what she says, if she says anything at all. Despite Anna's meticulous caution, everything goes wrong when her drunk fiancé tells a joke mocking the Supreme Leader, and the NKVD officers hear of it. Before she knows it, Anna's fiancé is dead, and she is being tortured for information. But that is only the beginning of Anna's suffering. Soon she'll find herself in one of the infamous Soviet Gulags-a hellish labor camp few ever return from, and those who do are never the same.
Painstakingly researched, and carefully crafted, Comes the Black Mariah is a fictional novel about the real suffering of real people during the communist reigns of Lenin and Stalin.
