Endgame by Ahmet Altan; Trans. Alexander Dawe, book review: This really is the big sleep
Ahmet Altan's "existential thriller" opens with a man sitting on a bench at night in a small Turkish town. He is a crime novelist, and came to this out-of-the-way place to write, but instead of working, he has become entangled in the town's intrigues and has ended up a killer, the fatal shot fired only moments before.
