Body Count (Inspector Ikmen Mystery 16)

Barbara Nadel

Any bloody death will lead Inspectors Ã‡etin Ikmen and Mehmet SÃ¼leyman out onto the dark streets of Istanbul. On 21 January a half-decapitated corpse in the poor multicultural district of Tarlabasi poses a particularly frustrating and gruesome mystery. But as the months pass and the violence increases it turns into a hunt for that rare phenomenon in the golden city on the Bosphorus: a serial killer.

Desperate to uncover the killer's twisted logic as the body count rises Ikmen and SÃ¼leyman find only more questions. How are the victims connected? What is the significance of the number 21? And how many Istanbullus must die before they find the answers?
