Stalin’s Ghost (Arkady Renko, #6) by Martin Cruz Smith is now available for free ePub download or online reading.<\/p>\n
Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n Investigator Arkady Renko, the pariah of the Moscow prosecutor\u2019s office, has been assigned the thankless job of investigating a new phenomenon: late-night subway riders report seeing the ghost of Joseph Stalin on the platform of the Chistye Prudy Metro station.<\/p>\n The illusion seems part political hocus-pocus and also part wishful thinking, for among many Russians Stalin is again popular, the bloody dictator can boast a two-to-one approval rating.<\/p>\n That’s a rating decidedly better than that of Renko, whose lover, Eva, has left him for Detective Nikolai Isakov, a charismatic veteran of the civil war in Chechnya, a hero of the far right and, Renko suspects, a killer for hire. The cases entwine, and Renko\u2019s quests become a personal inquiry fueled by jealousy.<\/p>\n The investigation leads to the fields of Tver outside of Moscow, where once a million soldiers fought. There, amidst the detritus, Renko must confront the ghost of his own father, a favorite general of Stalin\u2019s. In these barren fields, patriots and shady entrepreneurs\u2014the Red Diggers and Black Diggers\u2014collect the bones, weapons and personal effects of slain World War II soldiers, and find that even among the dead there are surprises<\/p>\n ‘Stalin\u2019s Ghost’ is replete with Martin Cruz Smith\u2019s trademark wit, dark humor and action. In this tale of Arkady Renko, Smith has again fashioned an unforgettable character as cynical as Philip Marlowe, but with the heart of a Chekhovian Everyman. The reader is treated to an unparalleled thriller woven with a depth of humanity found in the finest literature.. First published June 19, 2007. Original format: Hardcover.
