Litvinenko: Wolves Eat Dogs

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this anywhere (that I know of), but the recent radioactive poisoning of Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko eerily echoes a similar killing that took place in the 2004 Martin Cruz Smith novel, Wolves Eat Dogs. And the question that bedevils investigator Arkady Renko in that novel -- why would someone kill by such an unusual means -- is the same question that now surrounds this case.

Excellent book, by the way, by the same author who wrote Gorky Park back in 1981.
