Deadline (Inspector Ikmen Mystery 15) by Barbara Nadel
When Inspector Cetin Ikmen is invited to a murder mystery evening at Istanbul's famous Pera Palas Hotel he finds himself embroiled in a deadly game of life imitating art. Halfway through the evening, one of the actors is found actually dead in the room where Agatha Christie used to stay when she was in Istanbul. Walking in the steps of the great writer, Ikmen experiences fear and hatred which have echoes deep in his own and his country's past.
Inspector Cetin Ikmen is one of detective fiction's most likeable investigators, despite his grumpy and unsociable characterOr perhaps because of it - we seem to like our detectives a little grouchy: think of him as the Morse of Istanbul... Ikmen is always good company, and Barbara Nadel's writing, as usual (this is her 15th novel in the series) captures the other-worldly though sometimes seedy atmosphere of Istanbul. * Daily Telegraph *
The shade of Agatha Christie adds another note of mystery to a murder take that is both evocative and exotic * Northern Echo *
Atmosphere, authenticity and a touch of the exotic... A well plotted and gripping thriller * Lancashire Evening Post *
[A] Turkish crime delight * Peterborough Evening Telegraph *
