When jeweller Fahrettin Muftugolu is found dead in his apartment in the Istanbul district of Vefa, it looks like suicide.

But are they real and, if so, who owns these priceless possessions?

As his colleagues begin their investigation, Suleyman is distracted by troubles of his own. His wedding to Gonca Serekoglu is days away, but when Gonca receives her bridal bedcover from a Roma haberdasher and discovers that it is covered in blood, she sees this as a curse on their marriage.

Meanwhile, as the stories swirling around Muftugolu become increasingly sinister, the dead man's wife appears, laying claim to his valuables and Suleyman is drawn into a dark and dangerous world of smuggling and savagery....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Every relationship comes at a cost in this tense and gripping Turkish mystery from award-winning crime writer Barbara Nadel and featuring Ikmen—'one of modern crime fiction's true heroes." (The Times)

I love this series!

I wasn’t sure about this one to begin with but ended up really enjoying it. There were problems with the recording however: lines repeated as if the person editing it kept missing the mark. Also, as another review or has mentioned, while there are gaps between the chapters there are none when there is a change of scene so that one ends up backtracking to figure out if this is start of a new sequence or not.
