Críticas:
"A worthy grandson of Marlowe and Spade." -"Stern"
"A worthy grandson of Marlowe and Spade." --"Stern"
"Jakob Arjouni writes the best urban thrillers since Raymond Chandler." --"Tempo"
"As Kayankaya hurtles from one nest of vipers to the next . . . the unsavory atmosphere is inimitable." --"Kirkus Reviews"
"Arjouni tells real-life stories, and they virtually never have a happy ending. He tells them so well, with such flexible dialogue and cleverly maintained tension, that it is impossible to put his books down." --"El Pais"
"There is hardly another German-speaking writer who is as sure of his milieu as Arjouni is. He draws incredibly vivid pictures of people and their fates in just a few words. He is a master of the sketch--and the caricature--who operates with the most economic of means." --"Die Welt"
"Kemal Kayankaya is the ultimate outsider among hard-boiled private eyes."
--Marilyn Stasio, "The New York Times Book Review"
"Re-imagines the dull capital of the German financial industry as an urban hell where minority groups and crime bosses prey on one another with ruthless abandon."
--"The Daily Beast"
"In the emphasis on action and quick-jab dialogue, readers will notice an echo of James M. Cain and Raymond Chandler, but Arjouni's stories also brim with the absurd humor that made "The Sopranos" so entertaining."
--Vikas Turakhia, "The Cleveland Plain Dealer
""A gripping caper and a haunting indictment of the madness of nationalism, illuminated by brilliant use of language: magnificent." "--The Guardian "(England)
"This lively, gripping book sets a high standard for the crime novel as the best of modern literature." "--The Independent "(England)
"If you like your investigators tough and sassy, Kayankaya is your guide."
" --Sunday Times of London"
Praise for "Kismet"

"As winning a noirish gumshoe as has swooped onto the mystery scene in some time." --Richard Lipez, "The Washington Post"
"In the emphasis on action and quck-jab dialogue, readers will notice an echo of James M. Cain and Raymond Chandler, but Arjouni's stories also brim with the absurd humor that made "The Sopranos "so entertaining." --Vikas Turakhia," The Plain Dealer "(Cleveland)
"Jakob Arjouni's downbeat detective Kemel Kayankaya has proved as enigmatic as Columbo, as erudite as Marlowe and occasionally, as crazed as Hammett's Continental Op . . . Arjouni forges both a gripping caper and a haunting indictment of the madness of nationalism, illuminated by brilliant use of language: magnificent." "--The Guardian"
"This lively, gripping book sets a high standard for the crime novel as the best of modern literature." --"The Independent "
"With its snappy dialogue and rumpled heroes, Arjouni's crime fiction owes an obvious debt to American noir but it is equally reminiscent of many Eastern European satirical novels. The plot of "Kismet "may recall any number of gangster romps, but the society so caustically depicted here is as recognizable as that conjured up, for instance, by Jaroslav Hasek in "The Good Soldier""Schweik."" --Anna Mudow, "The Barnes & Noble Review"

"This is true hardboiled detective fiction, realistic, violent and occasionally funny, with a hero who lives up to the best traditions of the genre." --"The Daily Telegraph "
Praise for "One Man, One Murder"

Pitch-black noir. La Depeche (France)" --Pitch-black noir
It all began with a favor. Kayankaya and Slibulsky were only trying to protect their friend Romario from his protectors, men who were demanding hard cash for the service. It ended with two bodies on the floor of Romario's restaurant, their faces covered in ghostly white make up. Kayankaya is determined to track down their identities, when he realizes that he himself is being pursued by a faceless and utterly ruthless criminal gang. A new element has broken into the established order of Frankfurt gangland: Croatian nationalists, battle hardened from the wars in their homeland. And when Kayankaya rescues the teenage Bosnian Leila from a refugee hostel, the stakes get even higher. This thrilling, utterly captivating novel is the perfect fix for fans of literary noir.
