Wolves eat dogs

Arkady Renko returns for his most enigmatic and baffling case: the death of one of Russia's new billionaires, which leads him to the Zone of Exclusion -- Chernobyl, and the surrounding areas closed to the world since the nuclear disaster of 1986. In his groundbreaking Gorky Park, Martin Cruz Smith created one of the iconic detectives of contemporary fiction, Arkady Renko. Cynical, quietly subversive, brilliantly analytical and haunted by melancholy, Renko has survived, barely, the journey from the Soviet Union to the New Russia, only to find his transformed nation just as obsessed with secrecy, corruption and brutality as was the old Communist dictatorship. In Wolves Eat Dogs, Renko enters the privileged world of Russia's new billionaire class. The grandest of them all, a self-made powerhouse named Pasha Ivanov, has apparently leapt to his death from the palatial splendor of his posh, ultra-modern Moscow condominium. While there are no signs pointing to homicide, there is one troubling and puzzling bit of evidence: in Ivanov's bedroom closet, there's a mountain of salt. Ivanov's demise ultimately leads Renko to Chernobyl and its environs. (No one knows how many deaths resulted from the explosion in Reactor Number 4. The official government figure is just 41, though many experts estimate that the toll was really a half million or more.) It is a ghostly world, still aglow with radioactivity, now inhabited only by the militia, shady scavengers, a few reckless scientists, and some elderly Ukrainian peasants who would rather ignore the Geiger counters than relocate. Renko's journey to this netherworld, the crimes he uncovers there and the secrets they reveal about the New Russia, make for a tense, unforgettable page-turning adventure. Each of Martin Cruz Smith's novels is a ticket to an unknown world. Wolves Eat Dogs is Smith's most harrowing trip yet.

  • "Inspektor Arkadij Renko, ulubiony bohater Martina Cruza Smitha znany między innymi z "Parku Gorkiego" powraca, by raz jeszcze zmierzyć się ze zbrodnią, tym razem w zdewastowanej strefie otaczającej pozostałości po najbardziej feralnej elektrowni atomowej XX wieku. Pasza Iwanow, przedstawiciel nowej rosyjskiej kasty superbogaczy, wypada z okna swojego ekskluzywnego mieszkania na dziesiątym piętrze moskiewskiego apartamentowca. Początkowo wszystko wskazuje na samobójstwo, jednak niedługo umiera również biznesowy wspólnik Iwanowa, Timofiejew. Zwłoki mężczyzny, któremu poderżnięto gardło, zostają znalezione na niewielkim cmentarzu nieopodal Czarnobyla na Ukrainie. Prokurator Zuron oddelegowuje do sprawy Renkę. Wizyta w ukraińskiej zonie, miejscu rodem z najgorszych koszmarów, nie przynosi spodziewanych rezultatów."

Una buena pregunta, especialmente cuando la v?ctima de suicidio es Pasha Ivanov, un hombre de negocios en Mosc? el f?sico convertido en multimillonario - una "Nueva Rusia" muchacho del cartel, si alguna vez hubo una - con varias casas, una novia de piernas largas de 20 a?os de edad ("el tipo [de la rubia] que podr?an citar a la atenci?n de la brisa"), y la raz?n todos los que se contenta en su edad madura. As?, se pregunta Investigador Arkady Renko, en perros Mart?n Cruz Smith Coma Lobos, lo que provoc? Ivanov a tomar un cabezazo de su elegante apartamento de 10? piso? ¿Y c?mo se relaciona con el agitador apret? en su mano muerta o el cerro de la sal de mesa que se encuentran en el piso de su armario?"
  • ""Why would anyone jump out a window with a saltshaker?" A good question, especially when the suicide victim is Pasha Ivanov, a Moscow physicist-turned-billionaire businessman--a "New Russian" poster boy, if ever there was one--with several homes, a leggy 20-year-old girlfriend ("the kind [of blonde] who could summon the attention of a breeze"), and every reason to be contented in his middle age. So, wonders Senior Investigator Arkady Renko, in Martin Cruz Smith's Wolves Eat Dogs, what provoked Ivanov to take a header from his stylish 10th-floor apartment? And how does it relate to the shaker clutched in his dead hand or the hillock of table salt found on his closet floor?"
