I go through phases - sometimes I'm bingeing science fiction or fantasy, sometimes it's classical literature like Moby Dick or Don Quixote. My tastes have historically been pretty dude-centric (Tom Robbins, Cormac McCarthy, Thom McGuane, Hemingway, Steinbeck) but I'm working on that.

Good god, what a book!
Another terrific book from Martin Cruz Smith. The sparseness of his writing suits the hard boiled nature of Arkady Renko's world but is also somehow appropriately Russian.
Classic Renko, in the best way.

What a tremendous combination of modern technology and the best kind of sparse detective story. There were a couple of editorial choices that I found jarring, but otherwise just loved the story. I could see Philip Marlowe getting caught up in this kind of thing, he just didn't have Signal and Tor at his disposal.
Can't wait for the next one!

Something about this entire series didn't work for me. Lawrence's worldbuilding was great, as always, but I really found myself reading just to satisfy my need for completeness. All the pieces of the story were there - but something their assembly left me wanting more.
