With Gorky Park, Martin Cruz Smith won critical praise and a global readership by introducing the world to Russian detective Arkady Renko. Stalin's Ghost is Cruz' sixth mystery featuring Renko, who this time out is faced with uncovering the truth behind sightings of Stalin's ghost in the Moscow subway.
"... earnest unsentimentality and calm tenaciousness on the hunt are what make Renko one of the most interesting detectives in modern fiction."-Carl Hiaasen
