Product Description

Review

"As Kayankaya hurtles from one nest of vipers to the next . . . the unsavory atmosphere is inimitable."  —Kirkus Reviews



"Jakob Arjouni writes the best urban thrillers since Raymond Chandler."  —Tempo


"A worthy grandson of Marlowe and Spade."  —Stern


"There is hardly another German-speaking writer who is as sure of his milieu as Arjouni is. He draws incredibly vivid pictures of people and their fates in just a few words. He is a master of the sketch—and the caricature—who operates with the most economic of means."  —Die Welt


"Arjouni tells real-life stories, and they virtually never have a happy ending. He tells them so well, with such flexible dialogue and cleverly maintained tension, that it is impossible to put his books down."  —El País

Product Description

It all began with a favor. Kayankaya and Slibulsky were only trying to protect their friend Romario from his protectors, men who were demanding hard cash for the service. It ended with two bodies on the floor of Romario's restaurant, their faces covered in ghostly white makeup. Kayankaya is determined to track down their identities, when he realizes that he himself is being pursued by a faceless and utterly ruthless criminal gang. A new element has broken into the established order of Frankfurt gangland: battle-hardened Croatian nationalists. And when Kayankaya rescues Bosnian teenager Leila from a refugee hostel, the stakes get even higher. This thrilling, utterly captivating novel is the perfect fix for fans of literary noir.

About the Author

Jakob Arjouni is the author of Idiots, as well as four other Kayankaya novels—Happy Birthday, Turk; Magic Hoffmann, which was shortlisted for the IMPAC Award; More Beer; and One Man, One Murder, which won the German Thriller Prize.
