- Synopsis
- The return of Kemal Kayankaya, "The ultimate outsider among hard-boiled private eyes" (Marilyn Stasio in The New York Times Book Review).Jakob Arjouni's first novel, Happy Birthday, Turk!, was published when its author was just twenty. The book and its beleaguered hero, Turkish-German P.I., Kemal Kayankaya, instantly found an adoring audience around the world, and three more bestselling Kayankaya novels quickly followed.Now, more than twenty-five years later--and after publishing a string of critically acclaimed literary novels--Arjouni returns to his most beloved character in Brother Kemal.It turns out that while things in Frankfurt have gotten glitzier, it's still the ugliest town in all of Germany, and rich people still show up at Kayankaya's seedy office looking for help. For example, there's the financier whose sixteen-year-old daughter has disappeared with an underground "photographer." Then there's the author who needs a bodyguard at the famous Frankfurt Book Fair because he's offended several Islamist groups. The two cases seem to be straightforward--but it goes all wrong for Kayankaya, as it almost always does. Luckily, that's when he's at his best.From the Trade Paperback edition.
