This book continues to follow Suleiman's involvement with the killings of the "peeper" and the mysterious Turkish Secret Service. Ikmen takes over a case as a favor for Suleiman involving Suleiman's father's carpet seller friend. This subplot is the majority of the book and quite interesting as it involves a carpet allegedly owned by Lawrence of Arabia. Ikmen ends up dealing with a murder and diplomats who were all interested in this carpet. It seems passion for killing is not confined to the psychiatric spy gone crazy, the peeper, but also to the staid and proper foreign diplomats who perhaps kill for passion.

I thought that I had read all of these but had obviously missed one. I love her characters and the details of Turkish life as well as the mystery element.

This gave a very authentic feel of Turkey. There were two parallel crimes being investigated so it wasn't simply about tracking down a serial killer or stolen carpet. I liked how nothing about it was obvious and the main protagonists seemed real.
