Product Description

Crime Time
`Distinguished and evocative novel'

Review
'Even better than Nadel's extraordinary first book...tightly organised...the dark, Byzantine plot springs organically from the tensions of race and class in Turkish society, which is treated with a depth and detail unusual in a crime novel' (Evening Standard )

`A thriller that presents a Middle Eastern city populated by human beings, rather than specimens of oriental exotica, and a British writer who can get inside a foreign skin' (Independent )

‘A sure-fire winner’ (Good Book Guide )

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than her first book, 21 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Last night I finished reading "A Chemical Prison", having stayed up until 3 am, as I couldn't bear to put it down. Barbara Nadel's second novel set in Istanbul is even better than her first, (which I thought was wonderful). The descriptions of the city and its disparate and cosmopolitan groups of inhabitants are fascinating, as are the historical insights into Ottoman history and habits. Anyone who was put off visiting Turkey after seeing the film "Midnight Express" should read Nadel's books. Her police inspector (incorruptible, chain-smoking and the father of nine) is a delight and all the other characters that populate this magical book are sympathetically drawn, whether good or bad. Buy it now and enjoy. It's a terrific book.
