Industry Reviews
"Like the luminaries of the genre, Smith is at heart a deeply moral writer, and beneath his wry, cynical tone you can feel his authorial anger twitching a safe distance away. Paired with what reads deceptively like a native's knowledge of Russia, it makes for a potent brew."
(08/15/2010)

"No one beats Cruz Smith at portraying the hopelessness of modern life while also showing how sometimes it is cynicism that keeps our humanity alive."
(07/01/2010)

"Smith [nails] the key to the structure of a detective novel, when Renko thinks 'there was still time for [him] to walk away from a case he did not fathom and a woman he did not understand.' One can trace that very essence back to Hammett and Chandler, who imbued their respective gumshoes with dogged determination no matter what price they paid later. So too must Arkady, who is doomed to repeat this existential cycle in book after book."
