Publisher Description
Detective Arkady Renko—“one of the most compelling figures in modern fiction” (USA TODAY)—returns in this tense thriller set amid the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In the latest installment of Martin Cruz Smith’s celebrated Arkady Renko series, the legendary Moscow investigator seeks to solve the murder of a diplomat as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine wears on and the effects of Renko’s Parkinson’s Disease worsen. Helped by his lover, journalist Tatiana Petrovna, Renko traces the murder to a Russian paramilitary group aided by a government official who also used to be a romantic partner of Renko. Before long, those responsible for the killing look to similarly dispatch Arkady and Tatiana—all of it leading to a thrilling and action-packed climax. Hotel Ukraine upholds Martin Cruz Smith’s reputation as a master of modern detective fiction and Arkady Renko’s standing as one of the genre’s most complex protagonists.
Customer Reviews
Hotel Ukraine
Excellent. Smith is in that rarefied group of writers who can tell a good story, and bring the reader into the scenery. Word pictures require a certain talent, and the likes of James Lee Burke, Ian Rankin, Mick Herron, Daniel Silva, are scarce, but Smith fits right in.
Absolutely amazing
This is a superb finish to an outstanding series. I learned so much about the Russian culture over the years, I will never forget Arkady Renko and all the wonderful characters.
Great read from start to finish. Great end to the Arkady Reno series .
As was stated above the story was excellent and a good way to end the Renko series. All will enjoy this novel for sure
