"In the early hours of the morning, Turkish TV star Erol Gencer is found dead at his home on the outskirts of Istanbul. But he is not alone. Beside him lies a Syrian refugee whose stomach has been split open with a cheese knife. Did Gencer kill his guest before committing suicide, or are they victims of a sinister double murder? The dead Syrian is soon identified as Wael Al Hussain, whose wife, Samira, is in prison for attempting to kill Gencer a year ago. At the time, no one believed Samira's story that Gencer's wife had planned the attack, but now Samira's sister begs ðCetin Ikmen to re-examine her claim. Meanwhile, Inspector Mehmet Sèuleyman is on leave with his teenage son, Patrick, who is visiting from Ireland, but when Detective Kerim Gèursel's transsexual ex-lover, Pembe, is also murdered, shortly after confessing that Wael Al Hussain had used her for sexual favours, Sèuleyman knows he must help Kerim solve this complex case."--Publisher.
