Format:Taschenbuch
The novel "Gorky Park" is an excellent portrayal of Soviet life under Communism. Inspector Arkady Renko is called to Moscow's Gorky Park to investigate three dead bodies. He finds the KGB at the crime scene disturbing the evidence. Inspector Renko conducts his own investigation which leads ultimately to America. The Moscow Town Prosecutor, the KGB, the FBI, and the NYPD interfere with his investigation. Inspector Renko doggedly continues his investigation despite these agencies' interference.
Martin Cruz Smith has created strong characters. Arkady Renko, son of an Russian general, is the Chief Police Inspector of the Moscow Town Prosecutor's office -- a post everyone agrees is beneath him. Irina Asanova is a film wardrobe assistant who would do anything to leave the Soviet Union. J. D. Osborne is an American multimillionaire decorated by the Soviets for World War II bravery. These characters interact with wonderful dialogue that contrasts the difference between life in Russia and life in America -- a controlled dour existence versus the joy of freedom and prosperity.
The author's strong characters and strong portrayal of Soviet life under Communism elevate a good detective story into an excellent novel.

Format:Taschenbuch
Gorky Park: Possibly the best Crime novel of the 80's. Arkadi Renko, Moscow's chief homicide investigator, has to deal with a case that smells like trouble right from the start: Three mutilated bodies are found in Moscow's popular Gorky Park. Renko immediately suspects that the KGB might be linked to the murder of these people, so it is obvious he won't make himself exactly popular with the almighty secret police. He tries as hard as he can to chuck the investigation right back to the KGB, but as the "Committee for State Security" can't be bothered, Arkadi gets tangled deeper and deeper in the case, arousing mysterious and ruthless foes.
Format:Taschenbuch
i never read modern paperback novels, much less thrillers, yet arkady renko is an absolute favorite of mine, a very humane breed (extremely hard to find nowadays). the book is very intelligent and even darkly funny. as for the reviewer who speaks about the joy and prosperity of his own society as compared to the evil empire, i think he should 1) grow up 2) recall osborne is an american and 3) walk (not drive) to the next housing project with a couple of illegal workers from mexico, and ask them about their rights to joy and prosperity. of course, now you can see i am an idealistic misanthrope (that's why i love renko), but don't let that keep you from reading the book.

Keeps Your Interest High Throughout
Gorky Park has action and three-dimensional characters. It's colorful and yet it has all the shades of gray. Not knowing anything about Russia, I found its evocation irresistable. Lesen Sie weiter...
