Review
'Few can capture the magic mystery of Istanbul like Nadel as she delves once more into its darkened heart with a faithful friend in Ikmen as our guide' -- Western Mail 20030222 'Inspector Cetin Ikmen is a detective up there with Morse, Rebus and Wexford. Harem is the fifth in the series, and the most compelling to date...Gripping and highly recommended' -- Harem 20030312
Product Description
The body of a teenage girl is discovered in a cistern deep below the city of Istanbul. For the Turkish police force’s most talented officer, Inspector Çetin Ikmen, this is a difficult case. The girl was his daughter’s friend and her attire, that of a nineteenth-century Ottoman, offers no easy explanation.With his promise of justice to the dead girl’s mother still fresh on his lips, Ikmen is suddenly taken off the case and reassigned to the kidnapping of an ageing movie star’s wife. The star is hiding something and so, Ikmen fears, are his superiors. A powerful secret exists in the labyrinthine city; one which those on either side of the law will do anything to prevent surfacing...

I have read and enjoyed all of Barbara Nadel's previous novels, but Harem is by far my favourite. The colourful characters of Inspector Ikmen and his extended family and the descriptions of the darker corners of historic Istanbul make for some great reading. Eagerly awaiting the next book!

At long last the latest from B.Nadel, a brilliant read, we are back in Istanbul and Cetin Ikmen is trying to solve not one but two murders, all the familiar characters, still similar but changing with each new book.
The writing is intriguing, exicting, and I feel as though I am there, I can smell the air, imagine the people and the story line is brilliant, I'll not spoil it for anyone but I do reccommend you buy this as soon as possible and settle down for a good nights read, I couldn't put it down.
