Martin Cruz Smith s Arkady Renko books are a series of mysteries set at various points in late 2oth century Russian history starting with the last death throes of Communism This is the second book in the series I ve read Stalin s Ghost 6 and watched the film version of Gorky Park 1 Here Renko a former criminal investigator has fled Moscow after the events of Gorky Park and is on the run from the KGB After a series of awful jobs he ends up gutting fish on a trawler in the Bering Sea A fellow crew member is murdered and because of Renko s uniue skill set he s asked to help with the investigationWhat sets these books apart for me beyond the glimpses into current Russian society is Smith s exemplary character building of Renko Renko has a uick mind and a dark mordant wit He clearly sees the cracks in the SovietRussian system and he s not afraid to his continual regret to speak his mind and buck authority William Hurt did a credible job in Gorky Park but I picture a young Alan Rickman with the line readings in the book Take a line like Good luck This is how it s written by Smith He doesn t embellish it with he said sardonically or he said cryptically or he said with withering sarcasm Renko s character has been so firmly established that the reader can add his own inflections as he reads the booksThis book offers up plenty of interesting characters Russian and American plot twists and political intrigue The crimes in these books always start off with seemingly grand motivations but usually end up being about something petty and tawdry This is not a bad thingIf you re looking for a nice blend of police procedural mystery and an exotic locale I d recommend this and the other Renko books Don't Try This at Home How to Win a Sumo Match Catch a Great White Shark Start an Independent Nation and Other Extraordinary Feats For Ordinary People young Alan Rickman with the line readings in the book Take a line like Good luck This is how it s written by Smith He doesn t embellish it with he said sardonically or he said cryptically or he said with withering sarcasm Renko s character has been so firmly established that the reader can add his own inflections as he reads the booksThis book offers up plenty of interesting characters Russian and American plot twists and political intrigue The crimes in these books always start off with seemingly grand motivations but usually end up being about something petty and tawdry This is not a bad thingIf Who Was Seabiscuit? you re looking for a nice blend of police procedural mystery and an exotic locale I d recommend this and the other Renko books
