A TAP ON THE WINDOW
BARCLAY, LINWOOD
It's been two months since private investigator Cal Weaver's teenage son, Scott, died in a tragic drugrelated
accident. Ever since, he and his wife have drifted apart, fracturing a once-normal life. Cal is mired
in grief he can't move past. And maybe that has clouded his judgment. Because he made a grave mistake
driving home on a very rainy night. A drenched young girl tapped on his window as he sat at a stoplight
and asked for a ride. And even though he knew a forty-something man picking up a teenage hitchhiker is
a fool, he let her in the car--she was the same age as Scott and maybe she could help him find the dealer
who sold his son the drugs that killed him. However, after a brief stop at a roadside diner, Cal senses that
something's not right with the girl or the situation. But it's too late. He's already involved.

TATIANA
SMITH, MARTIN CRUZ
One of the iconic investigators of contemporary fiction, Arkady Renko—cynical, analytical, and quietly
subversive—has survived the cultural journey from the Soviet Union to the New Russia. In Tatiana, Martin
Cruz Smith’s most ambitious novel since Gorky Park, the melancholy hero finds himself on the trail of a
mystery as complex and dangerous as modern Russia herself. The fearless investigative reporter Tatiana
Petrovna falls to her death from a sixth-floor window in Moscow the same week that a mob billionaire,
Grisha Grigorenko, is shot and buried with the trappings due a lord. No one makes the connection, but
Arkady is transfixed by the tapes he discovers of Tatiana’s voice, even as she describes horrific crimes
hidden by official versions. The trail leads to Kaliningrad, a Cold War “secret city” and home of the Baltic
Fleet, separated by hundreds of miles from the rest of Russia. Arkady delves into Tatiana’s past and a
surreal world of wandering dunes and amber mines. His only link is a notebook written in the personal
code of a translator whose body is found in the dunes. Arkady’s only hope of decoding the symbols lies in
Zhenya, a teenage chess hustler.
