Cruz Smith Martin Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Arkady Renko is back, but his superiors have relegated him to a desk job, distancing him from the field. Despite his disillusionment with policing and Russia's state, a flicker of hope ignites within him as a rebellion stirs, challenging old regimes. Politician Leonid Lebedev emerges as a potential agent of change. When Karina, a devoted supporter of Lebedev, goes missing, her father turns to Renko for help. Shortly after, Alex, a friend of Renko’s son and a Forum member, is found dead, having sent Renko a cryptic message of three Russian writers the night before his murder. The connection between the images eludes Renko, who is grappling with a recent Parkinson's diagnosis that complicates his investigation. This time, he must confront not only the oppressive Russian regime but also his own physical and mental struggles.

»›Die Spur des Bären‹ zeigt Cruz Smith in Bestform: grandios erzählt, mit lakonischen Dialogen und einem zwar leicht ergrauten, aber mutigen Helden.« Financial Times Der legendäre Moskauer Ermittler Arkadi Renko ist in größter Sorge um seine ehemalige Geliebte Tatjana. Die mutige Enthüllungsjournalistin ist nicht planmäßig aus Sibirien zurückgekehrt. Dort wollte sie den politischen Dissidenten Kusnezow porträtieren – einen charismatischen, aber auch skrupellosen Mann, der das ehrgeizige Ziel verfolgt, die Dauerherrschaft Putins zu brechen. Getrieben von bösen Vorahnungen, aber auch rasender Eifersucht, begibt sich Renko auf eine riskante Reise. Er merkt schnell, dass in der unwirtlichen, eisigen Natur Sibiriens ganz eigene Gesetze herrschen. Doch erst eine grausame Bärenjagd, von der er sich wichtige Insider-Informationen verspricht, führt ihm vor Augen, in welche gefährlichen politischen Fänge Tatjana geraten ist …
