"In an adventure stretching from the vibrant streets of Berlin and its immigrants, street artists and squats to the ancient hills of Bergama, Yıldız Karasu, an intrepid detective with the Berlin Police Force, and her assistant Tobias Becker investigate a series of murders that lead them to dark secrets that are powerful enough to destroy people and lives. As the investigation takes them to Turkey, the tension increases as a new name is revealed… An expertly crafted novel by Ahmet Ümit, seamlessly weaving archaeology and mythology into a masterpiece of crime fiction. While The Land of Lost Gods resurrects ancient myths in the shadow of the Altar of Zeus and the Temple of Pergamon, its depiction of crime and the manner in which it transcends borders and epochs leaves the reader reeling." ~ from goodreads.com
