Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature
'Dazzling ... Turns the detective novel on its head.' Independent on Sunday

But despite pursuing every clue the nature of the mystery keeps changing, and Galip never feels himself to be any closer to finding his beloved Ruya. When he receives a death threat, he begins to fear the worst . . .
