    Špionážní román amerického autora je situován do Moskvy sedmdesátých let. Zfilmováno v roce 1983 jako Park Gorkého. Moskva, doba tuhého komunismu. V Parku Gorkého se najdou tři zohavené mrtvoly. Snímek zkušeného Michaela Apteda Park Gorkého vznikl v roce 1983. Na americký film má poněkud atypický námět a atypického hrdinu. Hlavní vyšetřovatel moskevské milice Arkadij Renko řeší případ záhadné vraždy tří mladých lidí, do něhož je zapletena KGB, zkorumpovaná justice i cynický americký obchodník s kožešinami. Spravedlivý a čestný policista tedy bojuje s mocnou přesilou, ale nakonec díky pomoci newyorského detektiva (!) a nonkonformní ruské dívky Iriny zajistí za cenu mnoha životů průchod právu. Solidní politicko-kriminální drama se rozvíjí v pomalém tempu s občasnými akčními scénami. Tvůrcům se celkem podařilo vystihnout sovětské reálie, byť natáčeli ve Finsku. Ve své době byl Park Gorkého možná zajímavou výpovědí o poměrech, o nichž na Západě musely být notně zkreslené představy. Dnes by však stěží obstál před obrazem, jaký o své zemi podávají tamní filmaři.... celý text

    The body, at least what was left of it, was drifting in Havana Bay the morning Arkady arrived from Moscow. Only the day before, he had received an urgent message from the Russian embassy in Havana that his friend Pribluda was missing and asking that he come.The Cubans insisted that this corpse floating in an inner tube was Pribluda, but Arkady wasn't so sure."You don't investigate assault, you don't investigate murder. Just what do you investigate?" Arkady asks Ofelia Osorio, a detective in the Policia Nacional de la Revolucion. "Or is it simply open season on Russians in Havana?"The comrades of the Cold War have parted bitterly, and the Russians who used to swarm through Havana's streets are now as rare as they are despised, much more so than Americans.Havana is overrun with color, music, and suspicion. The Revolution's heroes have outlived idealism. The Com-munist world has shrunk to Cuba. Paradise has become a stop on sex tours. It is a city of empty stores and talking drums, Karl Marx and sharp machetes, where an American radical rides around in Hemingway's car to tout island investments and a Wall Street developer on the run from the FBI flies a pirate flag."A dead Russian, a live Russian," Ofelia says. "What's the difference?" But the dead Russian is followed by the murders of a Cuban boxer and a prostitute. Although none of them is supposed to be investigated, Arkady cannot be stopped. He speaks no Spanish, knows nothing about Cuba, and, as a Russian, is a pariah. However, there is something about this faded, lovely, dangerous city--the rhythms of waves against the seawall, the insinuation of music always in the air, and, finally, Ofelia herself--that plunges Arkady back into life."What ultimately sets the Renko books apart is the careful writing, and, more important, the knowledge of the human heart that is carried through it, through them, first to last."–Chicago Tribune

    Detective Arkady Renko returns to his Moscow base in Martin Cruz Smith's exciting installment in the internationally bestselling series about Russian crimes, broken hearts, and the mysteries of the soul. Investigator Arkady Renko, the pariah of the Moscow prosecutor's office, has been assigned the thankless job of investigating a new phenomenon: late-night subway riders report seeing the ghost of Joseph Stalin on the platform of the Chistye Prudy Metro station. The illusion seems part political hocus-pocus and also part wishful thinking, for among many Russians Stalin is again popular; the bloody dictator can boast a two-to-one approval rating. Decidedly better than that of Renko, whose lover, Eva, has left him for Detective Nikolai Isakov, a charismatic veteran of the civil war in Chechnya, a hero of the far right and, Renko suspects, a killer for hire. The cases entwine, and Renko's quests become a personal inquiry fueled by jealousy. The investigation leads to the fields of Tver outside of Moscow, where once a million soldiers fought. There, amidst the detritus, Renko must confront the ghost of his own father, a favorite general of Stalin's. In these barren fields, patriots and shady entrepreneurs—the Red Diggers and Black Diggers—collect the bones, weapons and personal effects of slain World War II soldiers, and find that even among the dead there are surprises.

    Tatiana

    In his groundbreaking Gorky Park, Martin Cruz Smith created one of the iconic investigators of contemporary fiction, Arkady Renko. In Tatiana, Smith delivers his most ambitious and politically daring novel since. When the brilliant and fearless young reporter Tatiana Petrovna falls to her death from a sixth-floor window in Moscow in the same week that notorious mob billionaire Grisha Grigorenko is shot in the back of the head, Renko finds himself on the trail of a mystery as complex and dangerous as modern Russia itself. The body of an elite government translator shows up on the sand dunes of Kalingrad: killed for nothing but a cryptic notebook filled with symbols. A frantic hunt begins to locate and decipher this notebook. In a fast-changing and lethal race to uncover what this translator knew, and how he planned to reveal it to the world, Renko makes a startling discovery that propels him deeper into Tatiana's past - and, at the same time, paradoxically, into Russia's future.
