Renko, Volovoi read, as if familiarizing himself with a problem. Chief Investigator, dismissed, expelled from the Party, Psychiatric rehabiliation. You see, I have the same file as the captain has, assigned to labour in the eastern section of the Russian Republic, Siberia. Arkady Renko is exiled on Polar Star, a Soviet factory ship which trawls the freezing waters from Siberia to Alaska: current status seaman (second class), his movements shadowed by those who know his past. Then, Renko is given a chance to reclaim his freedom — by investigating a lonely and very mysterious death...'Polar Star is not merely the work of our best writer of suspense, but one of our best writers, period' — New York Times. 'Splendid...the reader will be kept guessing to the end' — Evening Standard. 'Cruz Smith's ability is to tell both a thriller and a novel at once, without losing either strand. There are whispers of Conrad and Graham Greene in this novel' — Sydney Morning Herald.

The hour was late and Mr Bear was tired. But he could not sleep — however he tried and wherever he tried, SNORE, SNORE went Mrs Bear. TICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK went the clock. Would he never get to sleep?

«Elizabeth Taylor is known internationally as one of the most beautiful and talented women ever to grace the silver screen. She has won two Academy Awards and starred in over sixty films. She is just as well known for her tempestuous personal life, marrying eight times and suffering through innumerable health problems. A cultural icon, she has been written about before... but never like this. This moving book traces for the first time Elizabeth's journey through the dark and often lonely world of a fame unparalleled in the 1960s and 1970s, a time during which alcohol and drugs played a major part in her life. It would be with her fifth (and sixth) husband Richard Burton (with whom she made twelve movies, including «Cleopatra») that she would learn life lessons about love and loyalty that would inform the rest of her life and, finally, be the catalyst for her recovery from alcoholism in the 1980s. This book also details her philanthropic work as an AIDS activist in the 1990s as well as her stunning success as a business woman today (with a multi-million-dollar fragrance). Based on years of research, this is not just a star's biography... it's an unforgettable woman's story.»
