In his groundbreaking Gorky Park, Martin Cruz Smith created one of the iconic investigators of contemporary fiction, Arkady Renko. In Tatiana, Smith delivers his most ambitious & politically daring novel since. When the brilliant & fearless young reporter Tatiana Petrovna falls to her death from a sixth-floor window in Moscow in the same week that notorious mob billionaire Grisha Grigorenko is shot in the back of the head, Renko finds himself on the trail of a mystery as complex & dangerous as modern Russia itself. The body of an elite government translator shows up on the sand dunes of Kalingrad: killed for nothing but a cryptic notebook filled with symbols. A frantic hunt begins to locate & decipher this notebook. In a fast-changing & lethal race to uncover what this translator knew, & how he planned to reveal it to the world, Renko makes a startling discovery that propels him deeper into Tatiana`s past
- &, at the same time, paradoxically, into Russia`s future.

Tatra Mountains of Poland & Slovakia in the Sunflower Landscapes guide series; exploring the best walking & touring possibilities in the region or area. Detailed information about touring by hired car or public transport, as well as on foot, is provided, helping walkers to navigate & plan day-trips. Shorter strolls are also included as an alternative for each main route for those seeking more leisurely days out. The guide is structured in two main parts ...

Within the compact area covered by this guide (140km east-west, 65km north-south) are two outstanding national parks in southernmost Poland: Pieniny & Tatra, & the best of neighbouring Slovakia`s mountains in four national parks: Tatra, Slovensky Raj (Slovak Paradise), Low Tatra & Mala Fatra. There can be few places where walkers are better catered for: skilfully constructed paths make walking in very rough terrain comparatively easy; signposting & waymarking are almost universally excellent. Hillwalkers will be in their element here, but there are often shorter, easy suggestions for the less hardy or they can create their own walks from the detailed maps in the book (which show all waymarked routes). In addition, the car tours lead to dozens of short walks & picnic spots, so that even those with little walking experience can make the most of these wonderful mountains. In each of the six national parks you can look forward to sampling local drinks & dishes at one or more of the mountain inns. The guide describes 7 car tours (with accompanying touring maps) & 50 long & short walks (illustrated with 1:50, 000 topo maps) covering the Tatras in both countries. There are also 20 separate short walks/picnic suggestions for motorists. Plans are included for Zakopane, Kroscienko, Tatranska Lomnica, Stary Smokovec, Strbske Pleso. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher`s website, maintained daily. The ` Landscapes` series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed `the blue Bibles` by the Sunday Times & led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks. REVIEWS: The Sunflower series always delivers a useful pocket guide book. The car tours, the fold-out maps & the clear symbols all make these books handy to throw in the backpack. The route descriptions are easy to follow & ensure you don`t miss any highlights. These books are good value for your money -- (K, Amazon) Really pleased with the descriptions of the walks in the Polish Tatras. We used this in conjunction with a map we bought in Poland & the book helped us to decide which walks we wanted to attempt (good descriptions of what you are likely to see & good directions) whilst also giving us a good idea of how high & how exposed the trails were likely to be (this is good if like me, you have a bit of a fear of heights.) -- (O, Amazon) ...
