Martin Cruz Smith – Gorky Park – First Edition 1981
£45.00
A first edition, first printing published by Collins in 1981. A near fine book (previous owner’s bookplate) without inscriptions in a near fine dust wrapper which is unclipped. Set in Moscow.
“Gorky Park” by Martin Cruz Smith is a gripping detective novel set in the Soviet Union. The story follows Moscow investigator Arkady Renko as he unravels a complex murder mystery in the eponymous park. Renko’s pursuit of justice leads him through a web of corruption, politics, and international intrigue during the Cold War. The novel is not only a thrilling crime procedural but also a commentary on the oppressive Soviet society of the time, where truth often becomes a rare and dangerous commodity. Smith’s vivid storytelling and memorable characters make “Gorky Park” a compelling exploration of crime, politics, and human resilience in a repressive regime.
