Publisher Description
Love is never easy—especially when your girlfriend is an illegal Thai prostitute who has been kidnapped (again) by a gang of sex traffickers. Fortunately for the hapless fiance╠ü, wisecracking gumshoe Kemal Kayankaya is on the case. The son of a Turkish garbage collector, he knows a thing or two about living in the ethnic fringes of the ugliest German city of them all: Frankfurt.
Kayankaya plunges into the city's underbelly, where the police don't care if you live or die, and the powerful view an illegal alien as just another paycheck. One Man, One Murder populates its pages with unforgettable characters, whip-smart dialogue, and a connoisseur's collection of grim details. But it is Arjouni's dead-on description of contemporary Europe's racial politics, vacuous nationalism, and social injustice that make his novels rise above the rest.

One Man, One Murder Listener Reviews

" One of four books from my brother in law for Christmas. This started off slow, but I found myself at the end not being able to put it down. Good twist, that kept me to the end. Easy read and can be done in a day. "

" I'm enjoying this series - it features a wise-cracking Turkish PI living in Frankfurt, Germany, although he could be a character from a Raymond Chandler novel. This was a pretty straight forward who dun it. A couple surprises, interesting characters and a great rainy Sunday read. "

" I love the Turkish detective and his sarcasm. He's mistaken for an immigrant in Frankfurt, but he's actually a German investigating a case about immigrants. "
