  • "Ermittler-Ikone Arkadi Renko im Kampf gegen die russische Mafia Martin Cruz Smith hat mit Arkadi Renko einen der legendärsten Ermittler der zeitgenössischen Literatur erschaffen: Er hat den Wandel der Sowjetunion ins Neue Russland miterlebt, das weiterhin geprägt ist von Brutalität und Geheimniskrämerei. Die furchtlose Moskauer Journalistin Tatjana Petrowna stürzt aus dem sechsten Stock in den Tod, in der gleichen Woche, in der ein milliardenschwerer Mafiosi erschossen wird. Die beiden Fälle scheinen nichts miteinander zu tun zu haben, doch Arkadi entdeckt Tonbänder, auf denen Tatjana schreckliche Verbrechen dokumentiert hat. Die Spur führt nach Kaliningrad, dem Heimathafen der Baltischen Flotte, Hunderte von Kilometern vom restlichen Russland entfernt. Mit seinem neuesten Thriller zeichnet Martin Cruz Smith ein überzeugend realistisches, überaus düsteres Porträt des heutigen Russlands. Martin Cruz Smith, 1942 in Philadelphia geboren, gelang mit dem Thriller 'Gorki Park' ein Welterfolg, der auch in der Verfilmung mit William Hurt und Lee Marvin ein Millionenpublikum begeisterte. Seither hat der russische Ermittler Arkadi Renko eine grosse Fan-Gemeinde. Martin Cruz Smiths Romane wurden bereits in 14 Sprachen übersetzt."

  • ""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" --"@en
  • ""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"--"
