Justice achieved by taking life serves no purpose other than glorifying death.

A serial killer who has rituals and feeds on Christian mysticism puts the homicide unit on alert. The crime scene of the first murder is quite unusual: A victim lying on the ground with a cross-shaped knife stuck in his chest... A Bible left open next to him, some lines of which were drawn with the victim's blood... While the killer was evolving into a serial killer without wasting any time, Chief Inspector Nevzat was perhaps even more so. He gets into a job that is more complicated and complex than he has ever encountered before.

It is not possible to keep the dead waiting.

An exciting novel, expertly written after meticulous research. In this novel, Ahmet Ümit invites his readers to look at both Anatolia's past and our recent history to better understand today's Turkey. It reminds us of the cultural mosaic of these lands through Assyrians, Nusayris, Greeks, Turks and Kurds, and once again brings into question the prices paid due to faulty mechanisms established in the depths of the state.

“You are right, Evgenia,” I say,

“This country is very cruel, this land is very harsh, the people of this land are very rude... But this is our country, Evgenia, this is our land, our homeland. This is where we are, Evgenia..."
