The chilling psycho-mystery from the highly-acclaimed and award-winning author Barbara Nadel.

Convicted murderer and drug baron Yusuf Kaya has escaped from Istanbul prison. He appears to have had inside help. Ikmen is called to investigate Kaya's contacts in the city, while Inspector Suleyman heads to Kaya's home town of Mardin, a dangerous city in the south east of Turkey. As Ikmen delves deeper into Kaya's past, the body count continues to rise. It's not long before the two Inspectors are caught up in a terrifying web of arms and drug running, terrorism, blackmail and murder...

'Inspector Cetin Ikmen is a detective up there with Morse, Rebus and Wexford. Gripping and highly recommended' Time Out
