This review is from: And Still Drink More!: A Kayankaya Mystery (Hardcover)

As in "Happy Birthday, Turk!", Turkish PI Kemal Kayankaya displays all the attributes of the hardboiled detective: constant drinking and smart mouthing leads to his getting roughed up and underneath all the weariness and disgust, there is a streak of compassion. Although well-translated, this story about an ecoterrorist act mingled with a murder isn't as compelling as the previous book.
