New Martin Cruz Smith Thriller “Tatiana” References Alice Books

One of our mimsiest minions reports that the latest Martin Cruz Smith (author of Gorky Park and more) thriller Tatiana includes various Carrollian references:

“Russian detective Arkady Renko owns a bookshelf full of children’s literature, including AAIW and fairy tales.  In the book, a Russian teenager taunts a homeless boy (who hustles a living playing chess) by quoting Jabberwocky (as in “Beware the Jabberwock,” etc.) and Renko invokes the white rabbit and the rabbit hole a couple of times.”

You can buy the novel wherever thrillers are sold.  If you shop on Amazon, remember that using their Amazon Smile site allows you to designate a charitable organization of your choice to receive a nominal portion of the proceeds.  To shop on Amazon Smile, click me.
