Apr 17, Frances rated it liked it. Disappointing - perhaps the setting of Detroit instead of Istanbul was the problem May 17, Therese rated it did not like it. It interesting, if not disconcerting to read of Detroit's many woes through the eyes of Barbara Nadel, an English-woman, and Inspector Cetin Ikmen, our favorite Turkish policeman. Nadel sets out the history and roots of the race problems that have plagued Detroit, certainly since poor African Americans went north to work in the car assembly plants of the Motor City.
These problems already existed and were exacerbated by the influx of much needed man-power.

Inspectors Ikmet and Suleyman have traveled to Detroit to attend an international police conference that is focussing on the problems of crime in cities. It is the middle of a bitter winter, neither man is properly attired to withstand the howling winds and snow. Suleyman in particular is a fish out of water.
He is not interested in the drug problems of Detroit's inner city. Ikmen, on the other hand, feels that if there are lessons to be learned here, he can suggest that they be applied back home in Istanbul. On one of the off-site visits, the Turks encountered Ezekiel Goins, the grand-father of a boy murdered 30 years ago. Goins is a Melungeon, a term used to denote someone of mixed race. He believes that this was a motive in his grand-son's death, along with the fact that he was a small-time drug dealer, perhaps killed for encroaching on the territory of organized narcotics rings.
Another young boy is killed, this time African American, and there is suspicion the two cases may be linked. Ezekiel Goins, who may have been of Turkish descent, believes that Inspector Ikmen is the only one who will take the time to solve the cold case of his grand-son's murder.
After the investigating officer is murdered, the Detroit Chief of Police asks Inspector Ikmen to stay on and assist his team in solving this man's murder which may have happened to prevent him from learning the truth about what happened to the two boys, and who is behind all three murders. Jan 31, Andrew rated it it was ok.
The weakest Ikmen yet. I sense that the author followed the Turkish bloodline to the Melungeons in Appalachia, to Detroit, and hence a tidy reason to set a novel there. But it was fantastic only in it's lack of credibility as a story. A bitter disappointment from a - usually - consistently excellent writer. Nov 20, Andrea Susan rated it it was amazing.

Zeke Goins has never been happy that his young son's murder was never solved, even though it is clear that it was related to Elvis's drug gang.
