My Pannis Testing A Lady Doctor

Redemption in the cold

To walk on the feet of some apparatchiks and their dubious dealings U.S., Arkady Renko inspector of the Moscow militia, is found ex-inspector, to wade into the guts of fish Bering Sea.
Ah, nothing like the collective work to remind you how to behave in a good communist! The rehabilitation policy (both psychiatric and, of course) in the belly of a factory ship, it's probably less harsh than in the salt mines, but this does not mean easy.

Arkady Renko

Here then boarded the Polar Star (the North Star ), one of the great vessels remaining at sea for months, dealing with the fish on board than he reduces the trawl fleet operating smaller cold and misty waters of the Donut Hole (the "donut hole"), an area of international waters in the North Pacific.
Stand in tile, Renko. This is essentially the message that pose as the former inspector in charge of the squints down the monitor on the North Star . Just keep emptying the fish, and goes on the right path that traces the party for everyone.
But when one of the workers of the ship is found, dead, in a trawl, Renko is the commander of the North Star request to clarify the matter discreetly.

not easy to be discreet when you're clinging to his boots, Political Commissar of the board. Not easy to be discreet when dealing with big "tough" of the bunker fish, hardened by months working in this factory ship. Not easy to be discreet when the Polar Star participates in a joint venture, joint venture between interests and Russian fishing vessels and U.S..

Martin Cruz Smith succeeded in 1989, with this Polar Star (North Star ) to concoct a great novel. Formidable in its decor, a juxtaposition of camera: camera booths where the workers live, camera ship itself surrounded by a sea with no horizon as it is drowned in mist. Its great cast of characters, lovable or hateful, bringing in all of them memories of a past sometimes hidden, regrets this a distant dream of a future can be better. Great by the way it felt that the sea can be as much a prison (for most of those who sail on it) a space of freedom (for the lucky few). Great, finally, for his detective story, surprising as a sunrise after the storm.

A novel to read and reread. A novel which I say he deserves to be brought to the big screen.
