Novel
Criminal Zone

A mercurial novel from Arion’s ‘Criminal Zone’: a homicide entwined with a passionate love affair between a man and a woman who meet in a bar one Saturday evening.
A Veteran Police Chief pushing retirement, a fiendishly dangerous outlaw, a beautiful young woman embroiled in crime, a detective with serious problems of his own who can only take on ‘complex and non-routine’ operations and the sheikh of a cult who thinks that it is his right to shape other people's lives according to his whims...
When you step through the dark threshold of the rituals lurking behind the deadly sins, you will enter into the very heart of a clandestine adventure, with all the keenness of a very sharp penetrating weapon.

Novel
Criminal Zone

What unexpected turns would destiny take when two fourteen year-old boarding school students, on the verge of manhood, decide to commit the youthful indiscretion of skipping school? How easily the coincidences that can give us the strength to live sometimes turn into calamity; for after all, life is nothing more than a highway full of unmarked exits.
This book will take you on a timeless journey from petty theft to art fraud, from the latest high-tech gadgets to antiquity smuggling and from passionate love to the secret rites of madness.
When you see the pale face of darkness, you will never forget its expression.

TALES OF THE WEIRD
Ercan Akbay

Istanbul September 2007, 3rd Edition
Stories
Criminal Zone
136 pages

For a few people, somewhere in the world, the salty taste of blood is still equivalent to the taste of lust. For them, it is not the wheres and hows of their exploits that are important, but rather their aftertaste and the exotic cadences they leave in the heart…
The heroes of the three strange tales in this book and what they have to tell cannot be compared to anything the reader will have encountered in real life, yet the reader who recalls certain experiences of their own and certain suppressed urges that only ever existed within the confines of their unconscious will accept them into their lives without question…
And what about those who hold dear to their precious limits and rules that are never to be transgressed?
And what about those who reduce their lives to a tasteless-colourless-odourless disposable pulp, preferring taboos, monotony and decency over the darkness, and the uncertainty and the turbidity that are inherent in life itself?
They should be very careful when they pick up this book.
