Nadel, Barbara2022
Books, Manuscripts
When a jeweller is found dead in his apartment in the Istanbul district of Vefa, it looks like suicide. Searching the jeweller's home, Inspector Mehmet Süleyman and his team come across a hoard of extraordinary artefacts including solid gold religious relics and a mummified human head. But are they real and, if so, who owns these priceless possessions? As his colleagues begin their investigation, Süleyman is distracted by troubles of his own. His wedding to Gonca Serekoğlu is days away, but when Gonca receives her bridal bedcover from a Roma haberdasher and discovers that it is covered in blood, she sees this as a curse on their marriage. Süleyman asks his old friend Çetin İkmen to help him uncover the truth, but the task is not that simple.
