BOOK OLD VERY OLD #A 3716

Another title of Petros Markaris' novel could be "Inspector Haritos in the City". Haritos and Adriani decide to leave Athens for a while and go on a trip to Istanbul. They admire the sights and the local cuisine, but, as is almost always the case with Inspector Haritos, his joy does not last long. An elderly woman from Pontus, who lives in Drama, returns after years to her ancestral lands and begins to kill. Haritos must prevent her next murder, but also manage to cooperate with a Turkish police officer, Murat, with whom they share a mutual suspicion. Istanbul as seen through the eyes of Inspector Haritos by Petros Markaris. An exciting novel full of bitterness, sarcasm, and nostalgia. And for the first time, Haritos is away from Athens. (From the presentation on the back cover of the book) Undoubtedly, "Old, very old" is one of the best, if not the best book by Petros Markaris. With many open fronts, both past and present, a lot of humor, a lot of the aroma of Istanbul, and a different approach to people from both sides of the Aegean. (OLGA SELLA, I Kathimerini, 26/7/2008)
