We will be discussing Hotel Ukraine By Martin Cruz Smith

In Memorium. Martin Cruz Smith passed away peacefully last month...on July 12, just days after Hotel Ukraine published on July 8th. This truly is the final Arkady Renko Novel. Martin was 82 years old and had been living courageously with Parkinson’s for 30 years. As his daughter Luisa Cruz Smith said: "His death leaves a silence, but not a void... he will live in our hearts forever." And on our bookshelves. From Gorky Park on, his canon of work will always remain at the top of its genre.
