/24-7PressRelease/ - May 21, 2008 - Osman Zahir, a Turkish Cypriot Inspector based in Girne, takes on his first murder case. When two bodies are unearthed by a digger for a housing development company, and one of the men whom Osman questions is found murdered in his home the following morning, a number of suspects begin to emerge including the dead man's middle-aged daughter and Gorus, a local businessman and reputed paedophile. Osman's investigations are complicated further when Zelfa Urfa, an attractive and ambitious Turkish female inspector from Istanbul, is seconded to investigate the case.

Excerpt from the book: "There was a clear sign of footprints making their way in and out of the room. But around the body the dust had been disturbed to such an extent, that it was difficult to work out where one foot print started and another finished. Was this because the falling man had destroyed the demarcation lines or because there had been some kind of fight? He stared at the dead body and thought again about the strange placement of limbs. A small pool of blood had collected on the floor tiles by the head, and the eyes seemed to be staring at him. He would have liked to have closed them, as if to put them out of their misery. But he knew that job had to be left to the doctor.
He went outside again and leant against the wall. Three people were watching the house from further down the lane. The neighbour must have already spread the word that Uludag had died and they had gathered to watch events. He turned his back, confident that they would come no nearer. They wouldn't want to be singled out and they would probably know that he was the same policeman who had been making enquiries the day before."
