PRE-ORDER HOTEL UKRAINE, THE BRAND NEW ARKADY RENKO NOVEL FROM MARTIN CRUZ SMITH, COMING SUMMER 2025!

'Martin Cruz Smith does more on a page than most writers manage in a chapter. He is unique and irreplaceable' MICK HERRON, author of Slow Horses

ARKADY RENKO IS BACK . . .

Confined to a desk job by his superiors to keep him out of the way, Arkady Renko is more disillusioned with the general state of Russia than ever. But, despite everything, he has hope. People want change, and politician Leonid Lebedev could be the man to do it.

Tasked by a father with finding his missing daughter, a staunch Lebedev supporter and member of the Forum, Renko is thrown into the heart of a dangerous conspiracy when another member of the Forum is found murdered - Alex, a close friend of his own son.

The night before his murder, Alex sent Arkady a cryptic message, simply containing three pictures of Russian writers. The link between the pictures is there, if only he could see it.

But Arkady has just been diagnosed with Parkinson's and the disease is taking its toll. This time, he must fight more than the impenetrable Russian regime to get answers - he will also need to fight himself.

Rezensionen
PRAISE FOR MARTIN CRUZ SMITH:

'Martin Cruz Smith writes with an immediacy, depth and lightness of touch that is rare in its combination, and impossible to resist. With characters you know instantly and care deeply about - never more than now - he creates a world that is both brilliantly contemporary in its understanding of world politics, and timeless in its grasp of people and human nature. Independence Square is no exception, and further crystallises Cruz Smith as one of the finest writers of our age. I loved it' Charlotte Philby

'Arkady Renko, one of the most iconic detective creations of the last half century is back in another nail biting, hotly topical adventure, that once more cements Cruz Smith's place as the undisputed master of the political crime thriller' Abir Mukherjee

'Renko, never far from trouble, is enmeshed in the cesspit of Russian politics and corruption and Putin's bellicose intentions toward Ukraine. Lured by his compulsion for the truth behind a disappearance and an assassination, Renko steps directly into the firing line. This is Renko's most zeitgeisty investigation and definitely Cruz Smith's most powerful and engaging novel since Gorky Park' Paul Burke, CrimeTime FM

'Martin Cruz Smith makes tension rise through the page like a shark's fin' Independent

'Smith not only constructs grittily realistic plots, he also has a gift for characterisation of which most thriller writers can only dream' Mail on Sunday

'Brilliantly worked, marvellously written . . . an imaginative triumph' Sunday Times

'Drips with atmosphere and authenticity - a literary triumph' David Young

'Forty years ago, Gorky Park established a new high-water mark for the thriller. It has yet to be surpassed' Mick Herron

'When first published Gorky Park was an instant classic; and its reputation has only grown since 1981' Adrian McKinty
