About this title

Synopsis:

Searching for his missing wife, whom he suspects is hiding out with her famous journalist half-brother, Istanbul lawyer Galip assumes the half-brother's identity by wearing his clothes, answering his phone, and even writing his columns.

Review:

"'A glorious flight of dark, fantastic invention... It offers many pleasures, Gothic, Borgesian and other, the best of which is a vision of Istanbul as a city of sinister complexity.' Patrick McGrath 'Dazzling... Turns the detective novel on its head.' Joan Smith, Independent on Sunday"
