Product Description
Barbara Nadel's gripping new Turkish crime novel tackles the treacherous and seedy underworld of Detroit's gang warfare.
Inspectors Cetin Ikmen and Mehmet Suleyman from Istanbul are sent to a policing conference in Detroit, but little can prepare them for the corruption that lies at its heart. When Ezekial Goins, an elderly man of Turkish descent approaches them to crack the long-unsolved murder of his son, a quiet trip takes a far more sinister turn. As they delve deeper into the case, the pair find themselves immersed in a terrifying world of inter-gang drug war and racial prejudice that puts them in mortal danger, and forces Ikmen to confront some demons of his own...

I love Barbara Nadel's Ikmen books. Her characterisation is wonderful and her ability to conjour up the senses of Istanbul is second to none. But, why oh why do so many British writers end up by placing their main characters in the USA? Why? One of the biggest plusses about the Ikmen books is the setting and everything that goes with it. In this book, which is 90% set in Detroit, the foul language flows from the mouths of Americans like water from a hose pipe. Suleiman isn't happy there and Ikmen is like a fish out of water. No, I wouldn't recommend this book to anybody who enjoys Barbara Nadel's wonderful descriptions of Turkey and its myriad of characters because in "Dead Of Night" they are conspicuously absent. However, anybody who like, it seems, so many British authors, thinks that the USA with all the accoutrements that go with it is the greatest thing since sliced bread you may be happy.

I really enjoy the Ikmen books, but a big part of that is the Istanbul setting and culture which I missed here. The plot was still enjoyable with the characters and Detroit interesting but I hope we're back in Istanbul next time.
