School 23

by Ian Young

In the Soviet Union, knowing too much can be fatal. When Oxford graduate Greta Chase is offered a teaching job in The Soviet Union, she can’t wait to jump on the next plane to Minsk. The opportunity to show her overprotective parents that she is no longer a child is irresistible. But while Greta prepares for the experience of a lifetime, the Zhlobin Militia are helping to conceal the death of another child from School 23. A week after arriving in Minsk, Greta has yet to teach a single class. Frustrated by inactivity, she determines to find a role for herself. But she is too late. KGB Colonel Boris Litvinov already has plans for Greta. Duped into supervising a school trip to the Kremlin, Greta witnesses the horrors that hide beneath the empty classrooms of School 23. But it is in Moscow where Greta discovers that, in the Soviet Union, knowing too much is as good as a death sentence.
