Martin Cruz Smith writes taut, breath-taking thrillers, and this newest addition is just the same. He will need all of his wits, and perhaps some Siberian wisdom, to get them both out of this alive. This is what Renko finds pitted against him as he tries to save Tatiana. It is home to the greedy oil oligarchs, wealthy and willing to do whatever it takes to keep their empires. It’s a place of shamans and dangerous, freezing nights, forests full of bears and lakes that hold mythical sea monsters. When Renko has the opportunity to interrogate a suspected assassin in Irkutsk, he starts what will be a dangerous voyage to Siberia to find Tatiana, keep her safe and bring her back. He knows them all too well and knows the lengths they will go to silence her from sharing her findings. Tatiana is known to delve deep into her assignments, disappearing off the grid to be completely involved in a case. Renko is worried – but no one else thinks he should be. They were meant to meet at a train station, but Tatiana never got off the train. Journalist Tatiana Petrovna has disappeared. Moscow Investigator Arkady Renko, Tatiana’s on-off lover, hasn’t seen her since she left on a case over a month ago. Smart, gripping and wonderfully immersive, Martin Cruz Smith has delivered another brilliant addition to his Arkady Renko series.
