Fugitive from Bolshevism

By Laïd HADLI

In the aftermath of World War II and the brutal collapse of colonial empires, a magnetic relic wrapped in a fragment of an old newspaper resurfaces in the hands of a child scavenger. What begins as a trivial gesture awakens an underground current of buried truths and forgotten names.
From Berlin's ruins to the haunted mines of North Africa, from Soviet plots to post-independence betrayals, The Magnet of Shadows unravels a century of conspiracies through the intersecting fates of a mysterious Russian exile, a defiant Algerian resistance fighter, and a Prussian nun carrying a secret that could shatter what remains of Europe's postwar illusions.
When archives vanish, witnesses disappear, and the dead speak through broken dreams, only those who dare to decode the signs can uncover what history tried to silence.
Blending historical fiction, political thriller, and psychological intrigue, this epic novel confronts the uncomfortable legacies of colonization, war, and betrayal-where truth is magnetic, and the shadows pull stronger than ever.
