The Arkady Renko book that started it all: the #1 bestseller Gorky Park, an espionage classic that begins the series, by Martin Cruz Smith, âthe master of the international thrillerâ (The New York Times).
It begins with a triple murder in a Moscow amusement center: three corpses found frozen in the snow, faces and fingers missing. Chief homicide investigator Arkady Renko is brilliant, sensitive, honest, and cynical about everything except his profession. To identify the victims and uncover the truth, he must battle the KGB, FBI, and the New York City police as he pursues a rich, ruthless, and well-connected American fur dealer. Meanwhile, Renko is falling in love with a beautiful, headstrong dissident for whom he may risk everything.
A wonderfully textured, vivid look behind the Iron Curtain, Gorky Park is a tense, atmospheric, and memorable crime story. âOnce one gets going, one doesnât want to stopâĶThe action is gritty, the plot complicated, and the overriding quality is intelligenceâ (The Washington Post). The first in a classic series, Gorky Park âreminds you just how satisfying a smoothly turned thriller can beâ (The New York Times Book Review).
