"In Tatiana, Martin Cruz Smith, 'the master of the international thriller' (The New York Times) creates the most compelling heroine of his career and the most realistic, damning portrait of modern Russia in contemporary literature. One of the iconic investigators of contemporary fiction, Arkady Renko -- cynnical, analytical, and quietly subversive -- 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, Martin Cruz Smith's most ambitious novel since Gorky Park, the melancholy hero finds himself on the trail of a mystery as complex and dangerous as modern Russia herself. The fearless investigative reporter Tatiana Petrovna falls to her death from a sixth-floor window in Moscow the same week that a mob billionaire, Grisha Grigorenko, is shot and buried with the trappings due a lord. No one makes the connection, but Arkady is transfixed by the tapes he discovers of Tatiana's voice, even as she describes horrific crimes hidden by official versions. The trail leads to Kaliningrad, a Cold War "secret city" and home of the Baltic Fleet, separated by hundreds of miles from the rest of Russia. Arkady delves into Tatiana's past and a surreal world of wandering dunes and amber mines. His only link is a notebook written in the personal code of a translator whose body is found in the dunes. Arkady's only hope of decoding the symbols lies in Zhenya, a teenage chess hustler. More than a mystery, Tatiana is a story rich in character, black humor, and romance, with an insight that is the hallmark of Martin Cruz Smith" -- "In Tatiana, Smith delivers his most ambitious and politically daring novel since Gorky Park. When the brilliant and fearless young reporter Tatiana Petrovna--based on the real-life journalist Anna Politkovskaya--falls to her death from a sixth-floor window in Moscow in the same week that notorious mob billionaire Grisha Grigorenko is shot in the back of the head, Renko finds himself on the trail of a mystery as complex and dangerous as modern Russia itself. The body of an elite government translator shows up on the bleak sand dunes of Kalingrad and the possession he was killed for is nothing but a cryptic notebook with drawings of animals and symbols. A frantic hunt begins to locate and decipher this notebook, a copy of which falls into the hands of Zhenya, the closest thing Renko has to a son--who does not realize that the document will put his life in grave danger. In a fast-changing and lethal race to uncover what this translator knew, and how he planned to reveal it to the world, Renko makes a startling discovery that propells him deeper into Tatiana's past--and, at the same time, paradoxically, into Russia's future. In Tatiana, "the master of the international thriller" (New York Times) draws on his four decades of experience to create the most compelling heroine of his career and the most accurate, damning portrait of modern Russia in contemporary literature, one in which the courageous are never safe, and the corrupt are never content, no matter which side they're on"--… (mais)

Great

I'm repeatedly surprised that I like Martin Cruz Smith's so well. The arcane Russian detective, plodding through another mystery that few others are willing to even recognize as a crime. But he draws me in every time. ( )

Arkady Renko, uno de los investigadores icónicos de la ficción contemporánea, ha sobrevivido a la travesía cultural desde la Unión Soviética hasta la Nueva Rusia sólo para encontrarse con una nación tan obsesionada con el secretismo y la brutalidad como durante la dictadura comunista. En Tatiana, desentraña un misterio tan complejo y peligroso como la Rusia moderna.
La temeraria periodista Tatiana Petrova muere al caer desde la ventana de su piso en Moscú la misma semana en que es asesinado un multimillonario mafioso. La pista de ambos sucesos conduce a Kaliningrado, "ciudad secreta" de la guerra fría. Al ahondar en el pasado de Tatiana, Arkady encuentra un mundo surrealista de dunas viajeras, niños abandonados y una libreta escrita en el código indescifrable de un intérprete muerto.

More wonderful Arkady Renko. The last for now. A small snapshot of the fight against corruption in modern Russia. Just great characters; great settings and scenes; fascinating history; very good endings. ( )

A professional interpreter is murdered on a beach in Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea coast. A Russian Mafia gang leader is murdered in Moscow and a muckraking female journalist commits suicide by jumping out a window from her sixth story apartment. Her body subsequently disappears from the morgue, but her sister has identified the remains from a photograph of the body provided by Russian police. Arkady Renko decides to investigate the disappearance of her corpse and we are off and running in another Renko investigation that tries to figure out the significance of a notebook that was in the reporter's possession at the time of her death. But the notebook consists of several pages of undecipherable figures and symbols. How are these events related? What is the meaning of the notebook and why do so many sinister types care so much about it? Martin Cruz Smith has written another high quality detective story that pulls back even further, if possible, the veil of corruption endemic to Russia in the age of Putin. This is not quite his best effort but is a great read with enough plot twists to keep the reader engaged. Well worth it for both the general reader and the devotees of the Renko series. ( )
