The Arkady Renko book that started it all: the #1 bestseller Gorky Park, an espionage classic that begins the series, by Martin Cruz Smith, “the master of the international thriller” (The New York Times).

It begins with a triple murder in a Moscow amusement center: three corpses found frozen in the snow, faces and fingers missing. Chief homicide investigator Arkady Renko is brilliant, sensitive, honest, and cynical about everything except his profession. To identify the victims and uncover the truth, he must battle the KGB, FBI, and the New York City police as he pursues a rich, ruthless, and well-connected American fur dealer. Meanwhile, Renko is falling in love with a beautiful, headstrong dissident for whom he may risk everything.

A wonderfully textured, vivid look behind the Iron Curtain, Gorky Park is a tense, atmospheric, and memorable crime story. “Once one gets going, one doesn’t want to stop…The action is gritty, the plot complicated, and the overriding quality is intelligence” (The Washington Post). The first in a classic series, Gorky Park “reminds you just how satisfying a smoothly turned thriller can be” (The New York Times Book Review).

I really enjoyed it.

the story has many layers that are well connected. moreover, the author really pushes the story beyond a couple of natural endings. (there are a few things that don't really add up, but you can't expect that on this level of complexity.)

I also liked the Soviet union sujet. I had the feeling that this was not written by a Russian emigrant and am not sure, what Russians think about the book, yet it still introduced me to an unknown context, and since the wall has come down a couple decades ago, it just made a colourful background to me.

the performance was also good. the voice and narration fitted the story and characters well.

I would definitely recommend it to myself.

Complex crime story in an extraordinary setting
