Description

“Altun provides people three pleasures for the buying price of one: a superbly edgy, humorous thriller that rivals Highsmith; a metaphysical puzzle that Borges could be happy to call their own; and an account of two assassins that delivers, much better than every other book I've read, just how that money talks in Istanbul.”—Maureen Readily"A deft, zinging whodunnit which can be also a metaphysical puzzle worth the Oulipo group. Altun’s writing includes a dreamlike emergency; his book is just a main achievement."—John AshberyAfter the demise of his overbearing mother, the fortunate Arda reclines in his prosperity, showing on his youthful life and on the life of his father, the well-known mathematician Mürsel Ergenekon, who had been killed on Arda’s fourteenth birthday. While on another part of the town, “your simple servant” Bedirhan has chose to group in his five-year career being an assassin.Their two lifestyles become inherently bound within this thriller that takes us through the avenues of Istanbul. We discover that Bedirhan actually murdered Arda’s dad, and that they share more in keeping than he or we might imagine.Meanwhile, Selçuk Altun, a former family friend, is playing a lethal game, supplying Arda with hints to find his father’s killer.Selçuk Altun was created in Artvin, Turkey, in 1950.
