PI novel set in Frankfurt in the early 80's featuring Turkish/German detective Kayankaya.
A Turkish immigrant is found stabbed to death in the vicinity of the railway station (red light area) and the man's widow brings Kayankaya in to investigate as she feels the police don't care about an immigrant's death. a rollercoaster ride through the world of junk dealers, working girls, booze and xenophobia.
alternately funny and grim 'happy birthday, Turk' really hit the spot for me and i'll be looking into getting the other Kayankaya books.
p.s there's a great scene when some guys in boiler suits and gasmasks try and warn kayankaya off with a tear gas launcher!
