In the backstreets of Istanbul, a young woman is found stabbed to death in a dustbin, covered in cut flowers. The victim was known to the newspapers as the blessed woman; cured of cancer in a Christian miracle and a proclaimed messenger of the Virgin Mary. These controversial claims had made her enemies among the city's religious communities. But as Inspector Ikmen investigates, he uncovers hatred and dark secrets lurking within her family. To find the truth he must delve into a toxic world of fear, concealment and lies. Was this a killing in the name of faith or does the answer lie somewhere else?
