Book to Movie Alert: Child 44

Before it was even published, Ridley Scott purchased the movie rights to Tom Rob Smith's political thriller, Child 44.  Set in the 1950s, in Stalin's Soviet Union, the book tells the story of Leo Demidov, an idealistic security officer who defends this system. When a murderer kills at will and Leo dares to investigate, the State's obedient servant finds himself demoted and exiled.  Word is that filming will begin soon with Tom Hardy from The Dark Knight Rises in a starring role.  When Child 44 first hit the scene in 2009, it was an instant hit making it a book you should definitely checkout out before it hits the big screen!
