Back from exile, Renko must defeat the powerful black-market crime lords in this third installment to the Arkady Renko series by internationally bestselling author Martin Cruz Smith.

Back from exile in the hellish reaches of the Soviet Union, homicide investigator Arkady Renko discovers that his country, his Moscow, even his job, are nearly dead. But his enemies are very much alive, and foremost among them are the powerful black-market crime lords of the Russian mafia. Hounded by this terrifying new underworld, chased by the ruthless minions of the newly rich and powerful, and tempted by his great love, defector Irina Asanova, Arkady can only hope desperately for escape. But fate has something else in store.

Painfully long and slow story and a narrator that will put you to sleep.
Ends suddenly as if missing the final chapter...
Not the Arkady we know.

A very, very very slow...

I am listening to the Arkady Renko series in order and they are so well written and developed. The narration is well done- i like the consistency of one narrator from book to book

Fabulous!

In order to understand the story, I had to lower the bass on my listening device and raise the volume quite a bit before I could hear the dialogue. I know I missed part of the story.

Parts of the story were hard to understand.

Set in the heady days surrounding the collapse of the Soviet Union, this is a sprawling international thriller that was a great listen.

Really Enjoyed It

Could not put it down. Layer upon layer of intriguing possibilities that circle round and round, pulling you ever deeper into the story.

Riveting!

Set against the backdrop of life in Soviet Union vs. Germany soon after the fall of the Berlin wall, this is not a book for those with fixed opinions. All governments have their faults exposed, but following the complicated path of the intelligent and resilient Arkady Renko trying to do some good, while dodging others’ conflicting plans, is always inspiring.

One of my favorite Martin Cruz Smith books

Narrated in a monotone. Boring story. Trying to get it out of my library. Amazon seems to be insistent that it stays.

Boooooooring
