The body of a teenage girl is discovered in a cistern deep below the city of Istanbul. For the Turkish police force''s most talented officer, Inspector Çetin Ikmen, this is a difficult case. The girl was his daughter''s friend and her attire, that of a nineteenth-century Ottoman, offers no easy explanation.With his promise of justice to the dead girl''s mother still fresh on his lips, Ikmen is suddenly taken off the case and reassigned to the kidnapping of an ageing movie star''s wife. The star is hiding something and so, Ikmen fears, are his superiors. A powerful secret exists in the labyrinthine city; one which those on either side of the law will do anything to prevent surfacing...

Industry Reviews

Praise for Barbara Nadel's previous novels: An unusual and very well written first novel...Although the murder mystery is intriguing, it is the characters who make this book so successful * Sunday Telegraph *
Ikmen will go far...will have you looking over your shoulder * Scotsman *
Exciting, accomplished and original * Literary Review *
My crime reader is raving about this author * Bookseller *
A thriller that presents a Middle Eastern city populated by human beings, rather than specimens of oriental exotica, and a British writer who can get inside a foreign skin * Independent *
Mixing Ikmen's police work with parapsychology, blood and intuition makes for a read that is as riveting as it is undeniably disturbing * Good Book Guide *
Idiosyncratic and evocative * The Times *
Full of complex characters and louche atmosphere * Independent *
