The brilliant Istanbul crime novel from Barbara Nadel delves into the shocking world of honour killing.
In Turkey, the police are called to the scene of what seems to be the honour killing of a young girl. Burned alive, she is not the first girl to suffer such a horrific death in Istanbul. Further investigation by Inspectors Çetin Ikmen and Mehmet Suleyman reveals that the girl had a secret boyfriend who has now disappeared.
Religion, organised crime, and the lengths some people will go to in order to conform come together in a tragic story of violence in a divided and changing society.
