Product Description

Product Description

The new, chilling psycho-mystery from the highly-acclaimed and award-winning author Barbara Nadel.

Convicted murderer and drug baron Yusuf Kaya has escaped from Istanbul prison. He appears to have had inside help. Ikmen is called to investigate Kaya's contacts in the city, while Inspector Suleyman heads to Kaya's home town of Mardin, a dangerous city in the south east of Turkey. As Ikmen delves deeper into Kaya's past, the body count continues to rise. It's not long before the two Inspectors are caught up in a terrifying web of arms and drug running, terrorism, blackmail and murder...

2.0 out of 5 stars River of the dead, 8 Aug 2009
Having read all of the authors previous books set in Instanbul, I was really looking forward to this one. I found it very disappointing, I felt it was too ambitious, and the plot quite unconvincing & contrived. It lacked rigour, intoducing too many disparate elements to cover in any depth. The introduction of Inspector Ikmen's prodigal son, was very far fetched. I apologise to those of you, whom like myself are Nadel fans, but I felt so disappointed after finishing the book, I wanted to share my views.

5.0 out of 5 stars River of the Dead, 20 July 2009
By Ms. C. Degruchy (Oxfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Barbara Nadel's novels about the Istanbul detective, Ikmen, just get better and better each time. I would thoroughly recommend this series to anyone who either enjoys a good detective novel or to anyone who knows Turkey. The author has a great insight and understanding of Turkey and Turkish culture.

1.0 out of 5 stars Turkish tripe, 2 Feb 2010
By Agnes Neligan (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is Barbara Nadel's 12th book set in Istanbul and featuring the detective Cetin Ikmen. I have read them all and they vary in quality, this is not one of her best so if you have not read her before try an earlier novel to begin. This one is set partly in Istanbul and partly in Eastern Turkey. There are so many people floating around I gave up trying to remember them all. The "plot" has everything from drugs, gypsies to feuds, monks, Kurds and just about everything else you could imagine with a Turkish connection. The body count is so high I stopped bothering to figure out who was still alive or dead at the end. A good editor would have done something with this book to make it worth while but I expect publishers just don't employ them anymore.
