An ancient city, the oldest profession and a very modern crime... The body of a teenage girl is discovered in a cistern deep below the city of Istanbul. For the Turkish police force s most idiosyncratic and talented officer, etin 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 taken off the case. He s 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 escaping. But for Ikmen, there s no choice, only the truth.
