The Siberian Dilemma

Author(s): Martin Cruz Smith

Crime Thriller Mystery

'Martin Cruz Smith makes tension rise through the page like a shark's fin' Independent  'One of those writers that anyone who is serious about their craft views with respect bordering on awe' Val McDermid Journalist Tatiana Petrovna has disappeared. Arkady Renko, iconic Moscow investigator and Tatiana's on-off lover, hasn't seen her since she left on a case over a month ago. No one else thinks Renko should be worried - Tatiana is known to disappear during deep assignments - but he knows her enemies all too well and the criminal lengths they will go to keep her quiet. Given the opportunity to interrogate a suspected assassin in Irkutsk, Renko embarks on a dangerous journey to Siberia to find Tatiana and bring her back. Renko finds Siberia to be a land of shamans and brutally cold nights, oligarchs wealthy on northern oil and sea monsters that are said to prowl the deepest lake in the world. With these forces at work against him, Renko will need all his wits about him to get Tatiana out alive. The author of classic crime novel Gorky Park delivers another gripping and mesmerising novel, which will delight fans of the Renko series.
