The brilliant 13th crime novel from the Donna Leon of Istanbul
delves into the shocking world of honor killing
In Turkey, the police are called to the scene of what seems to be
the honor killing of a young girl. Burned alive, she is not the
first girl to suffer such an horrific death in Istanbul. Further
investigations by Inspectors Cetin Ikmen and Mehmet Suleyman reveal
that the girl had a secret boyfriend who has now disappeared. He
and the girl's family are prime suspects, even though forensic
evidence is scant. Why does the family, in common with other
families of girls immolated in the city, now appear to be broke?
There are also links to an infamous local gangster. Religion,
organized 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.
