World Of Shadows

Ali Melek helps people with problems: foreigners with visa troubles trying to find work, students who want to study abroad, families looking for runaway children, businesses trying to circumvent the bureaucratic maze of government restrictions.  One client, Lily Chen, a Chinese lawyer from Shanghai, hires him to find her missing younger sister who disappeared in Istanbul after answering an ad for work.
 
Since he suspects the younger sister might be a victim of human trafficking, he enlists the aid of his dead father’s best friend, a retired smuggler named The Greek, to help him because he still has connections in the underworld.  The Greek, who lives with Irina, a former Russian prostitute he rescued from the sex industry, out of familial loyalty reluctantly returns to the world he left behind and, with Irina’s assistance, begins asking questions of members of the Russian, Turkish, and Kurdish gangs.
 
Before it’s over, the loyalties of all the friendships and family ties will be severely tested and blood will flow.
