* Don't miss the latest in the Arkady Renko series, THE SIBERIAN
DILEMMA, by Martin Cruz Smith, a novelist 'that anyone who is
serious about their craft views with respect bordering on awe' (Val
McDermid) * 'Martin Cruz Smith makes tension rise through the page
like a shark's fin' Independent Once the Chief Investigator of the
Moscow Militsiya, Arkady Renko is now a pariah of the Prosecutor's
Office and has been reduced to investigating reports of late-night
subway riders seeing the ghost of Joseph Stalin. Part political
hocus-pocus, part wishful thinking - even the illusion of the
bloody dictator has a higher approval rating than Renko. After
being left by his lover for a more popular and successful
detective, Renko's investigation becomes a jealousy-fuelled quest
leading to the barren fields of Tver, where millions of soldiers
fought, and lost their lives. Here, scavengers collect bones,
weapons and paraphernalia off the remains of those slain, but
there's more to be found than bullets and boots. Praise for Martin
Cruz Smith: 'The story drips with atmosphere and authenticity - a
literary triumph' David Young, bestselling author of Stasi Child
'Smith not only constructs grittily realistic plots, he also has a
gift for characterisation of which most thriller writers can only
dream' Mail on Sunday 'Smith was among the first of a new
generation of writers who made thrillers literary' Guardian
'Brilliantly worked, marvellously written . . . an imaginative
triumph' Sunday Times 'A wonderful surprise of a novel' William
Ryan, author of The Constant Soldier
