Serpent's Tongue (Ikmen Mystery 28)
€ 27.50
ISBN: 9781035419012
The twenty-eighth mystery featuring Cetin Ikmen and Mehmet Suleyman, stars of BBC Two's gripping crime drama series The Turkish Detective, available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
When two women are found dead in Istanbul - one bitten by a snake in the slum quarter of Kustepe, the other killed by a suspected terror attack in Tesvikiye - Inspector Mehmet Suleyman and his team cannot see an obvious connection between the two cases.
Ex-inspector Cetin Ikmen isn't so sure. In Kustepe, helping a friend place a collection of dazzling sculptures at one of the city's art galleries, Ikmen discovers that one of the sculptures bears a startling resemblance to the Kustepe victim. Did the deceased artist know her and, if so, in what capacity? And what, if anything, does the death of a devout Muslim woman in Tesvikiye have to do with an alleged terror plot aimed at undermining the security of the city?
Suleyman and Ikmen soon discover there is more to this situation than meets the eye and they must uncover the truth in order to prevent more bloodshed . . .
Praise for Barbara Nadel's Ikmen mysteries:
'Complex and beguiling: a Turkish delight' Mick Herron
'Ikmen is one of modern crime fiction's true heroes, complex yet likeable, and the city he inhabits - Istanbul - is just as fascinating' The Times
'Barbara Nadel's distinctive Istanbul-set Inspector Ikmen thrillers combine brightly coloured scene setting with deliciously tortuous plots' Guardian
