Reviews

"A cappuccino of a book - the froth and fizz on top disguises the dark and bitter brew beneath."

"Istanbul’s Miss Marple – although he prefers leather catsuits to tweed skirts."

"A twilight world of online and real-world extremism that’s murkier than the lighting in any transvestite nightclub. A delightful confection."

"Somer has captured the essence of Istanbul with a tour round its haunts, its sights, its people and its nightlife all in the search for the elusive killer whose murder rate is accelerating... a highly recommended read."

"A camp comedic thriller… amusing high-adrenalin romp."
