Tatiana

fullDescription

Arkady 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 hero— cynical, analytical, and quietly subversive— unravels a mystery as complex and dangerous as modern Russia itself. The fearless reporter Tatiana Petrovna falls to her death from a sixth-floor window in Moscow the same week that a mob billionaire, Grisha Grigo-renko, 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 Tatiana' s voice describing horrific crimes in words that are at odds with the Kremlin' s 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 Tatiana' s 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 Tatiana' s past— and, paradoxically, into Russia' s 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.

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Sometimes the whole can be less than the sum of its parts, and that holds true with Henry Strozier's narration of this novel. Arkady Renko, senior investigator for Very Important Cases, returns for the eighth time in Smith's latest Russian police procedural. Many parts of Strozier's narration are superb; he doesn't create a pseudo Russian accent, he pronounces Russian names clearly, he uses a light tenor for female voices that works well, and he keeps the different characters' voices distinct. But the narration doesn't coalesce into a convincing delivery. The fatalism and bleakness of Smith's Russia don't manifest clearly, and the pacing occasionally seems sluggish. This is a great addition for fans of the Renko series, but newcomers may want to start with earlier books, like the stellar GORKY PARK. M.L.R. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

     Starred review from September 9, 2013
     In Smith’s riveting seventh Arkady Renko novel (after 2010’s Three Stations), Renko, now a “Senior Investigator for Very Important Cases,” looks into the apparent suicide of crusading investigative journalist Tatiana Petrovna, who fell from a window to her death in Moscow. Renko’s bosses have no problem accepting the suicide theory, but Renko and his loyal partner and friend, Det. Sgt. Victor Orlov, continue to search for answers. Smith spins a complex plot involving the Russian mafia, a teenage genius struggling to crack the code of Petrovna’s notebook, and an excursion to Kaliningrad, the isolated Russian enclave on the Baltic. While Petrovna may be a candidate for sainthood (she’s evidently modeled on real-life reporter Anna Politkovskaya), the most intriguing “character” after Renko is contemporary Russia—freer than it was at the height of the cold war, but at least as corrupt and vastly more unequal—into which Smith offers many insights.
