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.
