Gorky Park

Main Book Review Page

Martin Cruz Smith

 

 

 

This novel, published in 1981, is a Soviet era murder mystery more original than any others.  It is the story of three bodies found in Moscow's Gorky Park with their identities erased.  It is the story of Chief Investigator Arkady Renko, who has a perfect record for solved murders.  And it is the story of how far a man would go for monopoly of the fur trade and how far another man would go for the woman he loves.  Every step is a surprise as the pieces of a great plan fall into place for Renko.

It is highly recommended.
