The Resource Smith, Martin Cruz, 1942-

Description: Martin Cruz Smith is known for engrossing, well-researched, and labyrinthine plots; introspective, enigmatic, and sympathetic heroes who offer insights into themselves and their environments; and detailed and atmospheric settings that draw readers in. Of these three characteristics, it is his outsider heroes who carry his novels; complex, ironic, moral, and cynical, these heroes often find themselves at odds with their worlds. But Smith's detail-laden, suspenseful plots have much to offer; in his layered stories, a solved mystery may still leave some unresolved endings. Smith's richly evoked settings, too, are memorable, as is his unsettling tone. Start with: Gorky Park
