Inspector Ikmen's latest outing takes him to remote rural Turkey, where a body has been discovered in one of the caves that underlie the region. Inspector Ikmen has a potential connection to the crime, and goes off to the boondocks to investigate. He finds himself in a web of gossip, innuendo, and values that are foreign to his cosmopolitan soul. A good story, and an interesting portrayal of a culture that is still in the grip of very rapid change. This is the first of the Inspector Ikmen mysteries that I have read. The characters and stories are well developed, although it was difficult to keep track of them all at times. The background colour is a bonus, the description of contemporary Turkey and the meshing of the secular society with the religious one, especially at Ramadan, was interesting. I thought the way the Inspector Suleyman storyline (attacks on young gay men) was resolved was unsatisfactory; it was over the top and far fetched. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Cetin Ikmen (8)
A body is discovered in a cave in the remote region of Cappadocia, Turkey. The woman died of gunshot wounds, and her corpse has lain undisturbed for twenty years. Who is she and who killed her? Inspector Ikmen is summoned from Istanbul to investigate but discovers a complex web of intrigue. Was it her boyfriend, driven mad by love, or her husband, believing she would never bear the son he wanted so badly? When it is revealed the girl was pregnant when she died, the whispers and accusations increase. Ikmen, stifled among a rural community thriving on legend, folklore and intrigue, begins to think he will never see clearly through the lies surrounding this case. One thing, however, is clear: the past is as potent as the present. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Back in Istanbul Mehmet Suleyman is involved in a different investigation that gets interrupted by the 2003 terrorist bombings of two synagogues ,the British Consulate and a Bank which killed many people and threw the city into a certain chaos.
Always nothing comes easily for these investigators, there must be compromises but that is how one survives to fight another fight in this part of the world. ( )
