Product Description
Product Description
It began with a favour - it ended with two dead bodies on the floor of Romario's restaurant, their faces covered in ghostly white makeup. Kayankaya is determined to track down their identity, when he realises that he himself is being pursued by a faceless and utterly ruthless criminal gang. A new element has broken into the established order of the Frankfurt gangland: Croatian nationalists, battle-hardened from wars in their homeland. And when Kayankaya rescues a teenage Bosnian, Leila, from what purports to be a refugee hostel, the stakes go through the roof...

Synopsis
"Kismet" is about organised crime and war profiteers, about the insanity of nationalism and the madness of the Balkan conflict, and about the longing for one great love. It is a thrilling, utterly captivating novel - Jakob Arjouni at his best. It all began with a favour. Kayankaya and Slibulsky had wanted to help out Romario, the owner of a small Brazilian restaurant, when he is threatened by extortionists. Then suddenly there were two bodies on the floor of Romario's restaurant, their faces caked in white powder. Kayankaya is troubled by these deaths and decides to find out who the men are, until he himself is pursued by a mafia organisation about whom nothing appears to be known. Gradually, it becomes clear to Kayankaya that he is facing the most brutal and dangerous group of gangsters to have run Frankfurt's station quarter. And then a new assignment comes in: he is to find a woman he has seen in a video film, and who he is convinced was looking at him from the screen.
