Editorial Reviews

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 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Caught between publishers, June 20, 2005

This review is from: Chemical Prison (Paperback)

A Chemical Prison is the title of this book in England and in Canada. When published in the United States, however, it became known as The Ottoman Cage: a Novel of Istanbul. Same book; same author. Read the reviews under the U.S. title. But don't buy both titles !
