A dark and gruesome secret from the past is uncovered in Barbara Nadel's fantastic new Turkish crime novel of murder and magic. When Emine Aksu, the middle-aged wife of an Istanbul style guru, suddenly goes missing, Ikmen looks into her past for clues. As a youngster Emine was a hippie and associated with the Europeans who flooded Istanbul in the 60s and 70s. Meanwhile, Suleyman is called to a bizarre scene at the art deco Kamondo Stairs in the old banking district of Karakoy. A skeleton has been discovered in one of the large plant containers. Could these two incidents be linked? As both policemen delve deeper into the Old City's past, the trail of elderly 'heads' eventually leads them to a quiet little shoe shop in Balat. But appearances can be deceiving...
