SUMMARY

British Praise for "Belshazzar's Daughter": "Intriguing, exotic whodunnit set in the scruffy Turkish township of Balat...Local colour judiciously applied and ethnic differences (White Russian refugees, uxorious Turks, fraught British expats) skilfully explored...A first novel: exciting, accomplished and original." - "Literary Review" "Best crime fiction by a new writer was Barbara Nadel's "Belshazzar's Daughter," Set in Istanbul, with a battered, cynical and credible Turkish cop, and a great blooming baroque plot (ditto talent)." - "Books of the Year, Independent Weekend Review" "An unusual and very well written first novel...Although the murder mystery is intriguing, it is the characters who make this book so successful. The police team and their little feuds, the English teacher besotted with his mysterious Turkish girlfriend, and, most memorably, the chain-smoking little Inspector Ikmen, with his eight children and pregnant wife, contribute to this portrayal of an exotically different city." - "Sunday Telegraph" "This is an extraordinarily interesting first novel: the idea which drives its plot is an intriguing one; the Istanbul background is richly and thickly layered; the diverse cast of characters exhibits most of the psychoses known to man; while Ccedil; etin Ikmen is a detective one hopes to see more of." - "Evening Standard" "This Istanbul-set-thriller combines a multi-layered description of its locale with an equally complex plot...Nadel presents a fully fledged psychological understanding worthy of the best of the genre and her plotting is satisfyingly labyrinthine. Inspector lkmen too, is a highly unusual protagonist, characterized in away that owes little to her predecessors. An evocative and idiosyncratic debut novel." - "Good Book Guide" "In Inspector Ikmen, Nadel has created a sympathetic sleuth. Supported by his handsome side-kick, intellectual father and plaintive wife, Ikmen should go far." - "Scotsman"Nadel, Barbara is the author of 'Ottoman Cage', published 2007 under ISBN 9781933397849 and ISBN 1933397845.
