an innocent young girl..... Having never read Gorky Park but having seen the movie many years ago, you would think that, as a newcomer to the work of Martin Cruz Smith, this reader might be at a disadvantage but one of the things I liked best about this novel is that you don t have to have read Gorky Park to enjoy it!

an engrossing read and one that fully held my attention. The main character Arkady is quite unique in the way he is portrayed. A reluctant investigator the author Martin Cruz Smith does an excellent job of developing a complicated character who while obsessed with discovering the truth is awful very fearful about his own vulnerability yet despite the fact that he continually puts himself in perilous positions he is unable to curb his drive as an investigator to seek the truth.
