WHO ARE YOU?

Istanbul, October 2008

Çağatay Evyapan appeared relaxed in jail. Now and then a member of the Istanbul force would whisper something about a supercop flying in from Ankara to conduct the main interrogation of Çağatay. In Turkey the longest you can hold someone suspected of involvement in organised criminal activity is four days. The prisoner was intrigued to see if this Mr Big from the capital would turn up.

Finally, Inspector Şen arrived. He needed to know only one thing.

'Who is the little bird? Who are you talking to inside? This is all I want to know from you.'

The prisoner hesitated and then looked desperate.

'There is nobody.'
