Tatiana: An Arkady Renko Novel (The\arkady Renko Novels Ser. #8)
by Martin Cruz SmithIn 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 and politically daring novel since. When the brilliant and 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 and 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 and decipher this notebook. In a fast-changing and lethal race to uncover what this translator knew, and how he planned to reveal it to the world, Renko makes a startling discovery that propels him deeper into Tatiana's past - and, at the same time, paradoxically, into Russia's future. 'At times the writing mesmerizes with its originality...Long live Renko.' The New York Times Book Review 'Smith's point hits the mark with requisite force...Basic human behaviour - especially the worst of it - is so deeply embedded into psychological fabric that the same battles are waged even when the monsters keep shifting shapes.' The Los Angeles Times

Tatters and Other Tales
by Michael GandyInspired by the true-life murder of two Mississippi policemen, this, my second novel, gains its title from the wire-haired terrier that was the family pet of the Gandy’s who lived at the YMCA during World War II. Some characters are based on members of our family of the day and many tales from our kin of that era are included. The five short stories, a foray into that form, remain appended to the novel I wrote about that same time.

Tattoo: A Medical Thriller
by Anthony BrittoPlastic surgeon Gareth Lloyd splits his time between repairing accident victims at local hospitals and trying--largely in vain--to persuade his private patients in a Los Angeles suburb to have the kind of expensive nips and tucks so popular in Beverly Hills. Divorced, behind in his support payments for his two daughters, and about to turn 40, Lloyd's main connection to the glamorous side of plastic surgery is the affair he has just ended with the wife of a prominent facelifter-to-the-stars named Jack Ehrenberger. When Ehrenberger is murdered, Lloyd, of course, becomes one of the suspects, and, of course, has to find the real killer. Anthony Britto, a plastic surgeon himself, writes in a brisk, energetic style about things like how to fix your own broken nose, so the somewhat predictable parts of his first book are easy to accept as part of a lively whole.
