NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERArkady 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 herocynical, analytical, and quietly subversiveunravels a mystery as complex and dangerous as modern Russia itself.The fearless reporter Tatiana Petrovna falls to her death from a sixthfloor window in Moscow the same week that a mob billionaire, Grisha Grigorenko, is shot and buried with the trappings due a lord. No one else makes the connection, but Arkady is transfixed by the tapes he discovers of Tatianas voice describing horrific crimes in words that are at odds with the Kremlins official versions.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 Tatianas 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, Arkady makes a startling discovery that draws him still deeper into Tatianas pastand, paradoxically, into Russias 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 Smiths 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 one of our best writers, period.
