Publisher's Synopsis
As a scion of one of Turkey's most aristocratic families, Inspector Suleyman is unfamiliar with the raucous, plebeian world of Arabesk music. So when the peasant wife of one of its most popular young stars, Erol Urfa, is found murdered in a plush Istanbul apartment, Suleyman knows he is floundering hopelessly out of his depth. Why did Erol have a secret wife, whom he barely seemed to visit, when his relationship with the chanteuse Tansu was so well-known? And what has happened to the child who was with her murdered mother but has now disappeared from the flat?
