Publisher's Synopsis
"[In Istanbul Noir] you get blown along the shore of the Bosporus in the wealthy enclave of Bebek (Feryal Tilmac's 'Hitching in the Lodos'), hustled through the shadowy past in the bustling Aksaray (Mustafa Ziyalan's 'Black Palace'), have your mind read in the 'haven for lowlifes' that is Siskinbakkal (Algan Sezginturedi's 'Around Here, Somewhere') and thrown behind bars in Sagmacilar (Yasemin Aydinoglu's 'One Among Us')." (The Lead Miami Beach)
A city at once ancient and modern, Istanbul is the quintessentially postcard-perfect metropolis. But don't let the alluring vistas fool you. For beneath its veneer as the meeting place of cultures, religions, and ethnicities lies a heart of darkness, seething with suppressed desire, boiling with frustration, and burning with a fervor for vengeance.
