Janet Rudolph reported that author Martin Cruz Smith, author of the Arkady Renko series, passed away.
I took this photo of him when he was signing books at Hotel La Fonda in Santa Fe during the Left Coast Crime conference.
I was a big fan of his work, particularly his ability to write evocative descriptions.
