Martin Cruz Smith's "masterful" ("USA TODAY") and "irresistible"
("People") "New York Times" bestseller and "Washington Post"
notable book of the year: Arkady Renko must connect the dots among
a Russian journalist's mysterious death, corrupt politicians,
murderous gangsters, and brazen bureaucrats.
Arkady Renko, one of the iconic investigators of contemporary
fiction, has survived the cultural journey from the Soviet Union to
the New Russia, only to find the nation as obsessed with secrecy
and brutality as was the old Communist dictatorship. In "Tatiana,"
the melancholy hero unravels a mystery as complex and dangerous as
modern Russia itself.
The reporter Tatiana Petrovna falls to her death from a sixth-floor
window in Moscow the same week that a mob billionaire is shot and
buried with the trappings due a lord. The trail leads to
Kaliningrad, a Cold War "secret city" that is separated by hundreds
of miles from the rest of Russia. The more Arkady delves into
Tatiana's past, the more she leads him into a surreal world of
wandering sand dunes, abandoned children, and a notebook written in
the personal code of a dead translator. Finally, in a lethal race
to uncover what the translator knew, Renko makes a startling
discovery that draws him still deeper into Tatiana's past--and,
paradoxically, into Russia's future, where bulletproof cars, poets,
corruption of the Baltic Fleet, and a butcher for hire combine to
give Kaliningrad the "distinction" of having the highest crime rate
in Russia.
More than a mystery, "Tatiana" is Martin Cruz Smith's most
ambitious and politically daring novel since "Gorky Park." It is a
story rich in character, black humor, and romance, with an insight
that is the hallmark of a writer "The" "New York Times" has called
"endlessly entertaining and deeply serious... not merely] our best
writer of suspense, but of one of our best writers, period."
