The brilliant Inspector Ikmen crime mystery - Ikmen ventures on to the mean streets of lowlife London to solve a vicious conspiracy

Barbara Nadel's Turkish crime novel sees Inspector Ikmen tackling a complex case of organised crime in London.

When the Istanbul police raid a counterfeit goods factory in the run-down district of Tarlabasi, a young man with explosives strapped to his chest blows himself up in front of them. In the process, Istanbul's Inpsector Çetin Ikmen is injured. Documents found in the factory lead the authorities in both Istanbul and London to believe that a terrorist attack, in part orchestrated from the Tarlabasi factory, is about to be enacted in the British capital. Ikmen goes undercover amongst the Turkish community of North London, although what he uncovers there is certainly not what his British colleagues were expecting...
