When you’re a detective at the scene of a murder, and the killer buzzes you for some chat, you know you’re in for a long hard chase.
Inspector Levent, the man the Istanbul police department sends when discretion is required, has to use all his skill to make his way through a maze of sex, lies, and hot money. He also knows that every turn in this case of high society murder will bring him up against the realities of power.
When he finally reaches the pinnacle, the discoveries he makes provide a full top-down view of the country of Turkey on the verge of entry into the EU.
Pulse-pounding suspense that grabs you from the first page and keeps you riveted until the very end.

From A Review
Perhaps the most refreshing book of the summer, Graveyard Eyes takes an interesting twist on the traditional murder mystery. Like other books in the genre, it has a detective who is driven to solve the mystery despite political pressures, it has a series of victims with little apparent connection, and it has a long list of potential suspects. What is different about this book, however, is its setting—the book takes place in modern Turkey.

It’s hard to know where a city of fifteen million people begins and where it ends. At the water’s edge is a good guess. Istanbul, which used to command the routes to and from the Black Sea, now runs from the Bosporus to the Dardenelles and covers all spaces between.
Luckily, it’s a city with little violent crime for the size of its population. For the ones that do break out, there’s Inspector Levent, who knows every steep switchback road, the sexual preferences, feuds and dialects of every neighborhood. But most of all, the things the killers always leave behind.
