Synopsis
As a train pulls into Yaroslav Station, Moscow, a teenage girl – Maya – wakes to an unimaginable horror. Her baby has been taken . . .
Increasingly disillusioned with the workings of Moscow’s Prosecution Service, Arkady Renko is teetering on the brink of resignation when he becomes drawn into a strange new case. A prostitute has been found dead in a trailer in Three Stations – a dark, notorious part of the city – without a mark on her. Soon Renko will find that the girl is linked to the extravagant Club Nijinsky and, as he is drawn into the extraordinary world of Moscow’s super-rich, that nothing is quite as it seems.
Meanwhile, Maya also wanders Three Stations, searching for her baby. Her only ally is a young man, Zhenya – Renko’s own troubled ward – who is drawn to her cause and will guide her through Moscow’s dark underbelly. But neither Zhenya nor Renko realize that Maya herself is being hunted. And those seeking her will stop at nothing to silence her . . .

Review
'Every bit as invigorating as the book with which he first burst on to the scene in 1981, Gorky Park . . . Three Stations is if anything even better and, featuring a wealthy oligarch who has made himself unpopular with the regime, it couldn't be timelier . . . It's peerless stuff with a pungent evocation of modern Russia in all its vitality and corruption' --Barry Forshaw, Express
'Cruz Smith retains his talent for providing a convincing social and political backdrop . . . Heaps of atmosphere amid the corruption of new Moscow' --The Times
'Another brilliantly atmospheric thriller starring the increasingly disillusioned but still frantically fair and perceptive Arkady Renko' --Daily Mirror
'Whilst other crime writers have similarly followed a single metropolis over decades, none of their cities has seen changes as convulsive as those undergone by Renko's Moscow - The serial-killer whodunit allows Cruz Smith to depict a Moscow rancid in all its layers . . . This is a vision of a modern hell, echoing the urban infernos of Dickens and Dostoevsky where the virtuous similarly fight not to be crushed and corrupted . . . Cruz Smith's impressive descriptive gifts make it at once appalling and mesmerising' --Sunday Times
'Tenderness and terrifying violence vie for your attention in Three Stations . . . Once started, you will race to learn how the tale unfolds'
--Bookseller's Choice, The Bookseller
'Martin Cruz Smith does not disappoint...Great crime fiction is also social criticism and the author's research into the seamy side of Russian reality lifts him high above the hack thriller writer...it (Three Stations) remains a top-notch Renko thriller, atmospheric and bleakly humorous.'
--Evening Standard
'As with all good thrillers, this one will keep you guessing to the end. It's a real corker!' --South Wales Argus
