Berlin, 1963. An early morning spy swap, not at the familiar setting for such exchanges, nor at Checkpoint Charlie, where international visitors cross into the East, but at a more discreet border crossing, usually reserved for East German VIPs. The Communists are trading two American students caught helping people to escape over the wall and an aging MI6 operative. On the other side of the trade: Martin Keller, a physicist who once made headlines, but who then disappeared into the English prison system.

Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

Guido Brunetti, a native Venetian, sets out to unravel the mystery behind the high-profile murder. To do so, he calls on his knowledge of Venice, its culture, and its dirty politics. Along the way, he finds the crime may have roots going back decades—and that revenge, corruption, and even Italian cuisine may play a role.

Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer.

They call themselves the Brethren: three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison. One was sent up for tax evasion. Another, for skimming bingo profits. And the third, for a career-ending drunken joyride. Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in their boxer shorts, these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong.

Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the 20th century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.

Pulling only an occasional, very discreet job, Bernie manages to maintain his comfortable New York City apartment and keep his unorthodox vocation a closely-guarded secret. Every burglar knows never to trust anonymous phone calls. But when the caller offers easy money for an hour's work, Bernie can't ignore the job.

Solid suspense, masterly read
Truly enjoyed the outstanding performance of this gripping story! The narrative weaves together multiple psychological, cultural, and ethical worlds, always negotiating, challenging or evading as multiple fascinating protagonists entangle in layers of plotting and betrayals within a deeply engaged landscape. All this is enhanced with additional texture and grit by this addictive audio performance!

Martin Cruz Smith and the Bomb
I’m a big fan of Martin Cruz Smith and have read or listened to just about everything he’s written so I was pleased to see this title.
Smith’s characters are nearly always sad people whom life’s slings and arrows have dealt crushing blows. They’re heroic in their determination to keep living if only to spit in the eyes of God.
The hero of this story is no different. Joe is a Native American enlisted man who has the misfortune of being attractive to bored wives of officers. Pulled from the stockade after one such liaison is discovered, he is assigned to watch/guard Robert Oppenheimer as he works on the bomb.
The story has political intrigue, romance and dreams that, even if they come true, will eventually end in heartbreak.
The drama is cinematic. This book deserves to be a movie.

Going to be more careful choosing the next one
I thought that he couldn’t write a mediocre story. I guess anyone can if they try hard enough. Really tough story to stay with. Waiting for an explosive ending, the reader was faced with the butt of a wet, smoked-out cigarette being flipped into the darkness of an exploited desert. Underwhelming.
