Dance with Death (Inspector Ikmen Mysteries) [Paperback]

Barbara Nadel (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 5, 2006 | Series: Inspector Ikmen Mysteries

A body is discovered in a cave in the remote region of Cappadocia, Turkey. The woman died of gunshot wounds, and her corpse has lain undisturbed for twenty years. Who is she and who killed her? Inspector Ikmen is summoned from Istanbul to investigate but discovers a complex web of intrigue. Was it her boyfriend, driven mad by love, or her husband, believing she would never bear the son he wanted so badly? When it is revealed the girl was pregnant when she died, the whispers and accusations increase. Ikmen, stifled among a rural community thriving on legend, folklore and intrigue, begins to think he will never see clearly through the lies surrounding this case. One thing, however, is clear: the past is as potent as the present.

Love this book by Barbara Nadel, the Donna Leon of Turkey. Nadel weaves a tapestry of current crime, Turkish views on Western tourists, the struggles of a country in transition, dealing with a variety of ethnic citizenry, and family values. Her books are an addiction, a happy one.
