Book description
When the wife of one of Istanbul's best known popular singers is found
dead and his baby daughter missing, the newly promoted Inspector
Suleyman, scion of one of Turkey's most aristocratic families, finds
himself plunged into the magnificently vulgar, overblown world of
Arabesk music, dominated by an ageing star, the monstrous chanteuse,
Tansu. Trained as an actress, Barbara Nadel used to work in mental
health services. Born in the East End of London, she now writes full
time and has been a visitor to Turkey for over twenty years. She
received the Crime Writers' Association Silver Dagger for her novel
DEADLY WEB.
