Description
Tourist brochures present Istanbul as a glamorous, modern city, but the brochures dont make much mention of Balat, a decrepit neighborhood of narrow, twisting alleys and crumbling tenements. Until recently it was home to Leonid Meyer, a reclusive elderly Jew who, like many of his neighbors, came here long ago to escape one of Europes various bloodbaths. But Meyers refuge ultimately became his coffin, the carnage crowned with a gigantic swastika.A racist murder? Inspector Ikmen has his doubts, and begins tracking down the few people who might have known the old man, including a faded prostitute, a shadowy family of Russian emigrs, a despairing rabbi, and a high-strung young Englishman in the throes of erotic obsession. The first in a stunningly atmospheric new series from a writer who has deservedly been compared with Michael Dibdin and Donna Leon. FIRST U.S. PAPERBACK Intriguing, exotic, exciting and original Literary Review (UK)
