Tatiana (en español)

by Martin Cruz Smith, Javier Guerrero Gimeno (Translator)

Overview

Rica en personajes, humor negro y romanticismo, Tatiana es, más que una novela de misterio, la obra más ambiciosa y políticamente atrevida de Martin Cruz Smith desde Parque Gorki. Arkady Renko, uno de los investigadores icónicos de la ficción contemporánea, ha sobrevivido a la travesía cultural desde la Unión Soviética hasta la Nueva Rusia sólo para encontrarse con una nación tan obsesionadacon el secretismo y la brutalidad como durante la dic- tadura comunista. En Tatiana, desentraña un misterio tan complejo y peligroso como la Rusia moderna. La temeraria periodista Tatiana Petrova muere al caer desde la ventana de su piso en Moscú la misma sema-na en que es asesinado un multimillonario mafioso. La pista de ambos sucesos conduce a Kaliningrado, «ciudad secreta» de la guerra fría. Al ahondar en el pasado de Tatiana, Arkady encuentra un mundo surrealista de dunas viajeras, niños abandonados y una libreta escrita en el código indescifrable de un intérprete muerto.

Editorial Reviews

By the time Three Stations’ intertwining story strands wind tightly together, a read has come to care about or marvel at the book’s various characters as much as (it’s clear) their author does. The more travails Smith’s long-suffering inspector suffers, the harder we root for him.

The San Francisco Chronice

Engrossing. . . Three Stations delivers a satisfying punch.

The Seattle Times

Smith is at heart a deeply moral writer, and beneath his wry, cynical tone you can feel his authorial anger twitching a safe distance away. Paired with what reads deceptively like a native’s knowledge of Russia, it makes for a potent brew. . . . At times the writing mesmerizes with its originality. . . . Long live Renko.

The New York Times Book Review

Praise for Three Stations

“Three Stations . . . is filled with stunning prose. Such is the journey of every Smith novel: a mixture of undeniably artful prose alongside a sharp-witted and masterfully entertaining plot. With a tip of the hat to Smith himself, all that’s left to say is this: All novels should be as dark and mysterious and entertaining as Three Stations; all series should be so consistently excellent; all prose should be so dazzling; and all writers so talented as Martin Cruz Smith.

The Denver Post

Smith’s point hits the mark with requisite force. . . . Basic human behavior—especially the worst of it—is so deeply embedded into psychological fabric that the same battles are waged even when the monsters keep shifting shapes.

The Los Angeles Times

Smith is a first-rate popular novelist, and this is one of his best books: tightly plotted, well-constructed, with a host of memorable secondary characters. . . . Smith is always an inventive storyteller, and he brings this setting vividly to life.
