wonderful book about eastern Turkey

I love mystery books that in addition to a great plot provide insight into a culture and a place. This one fills the bill wonderfully. While many people think of Istanbul as an exotic and mysterious place, this one takes us to a place in Turkey that even Istanbul residents find exotic and mysterious.
