THE BARBER

I shot the provincial head of the National Progress and Reputation Party as he was leaving his mistress's house and getting into his car late at night. It was very cold, it was frosty; so the streets were completely deserted. I stood and waited, steaming out of my mouth, in the corner across from the old-faced, btb-covered apartment building. Even my gloved hands in my coat pocket were freezing. He went out at half past two. He was a large man, his heavy body struggling to balance as he walked towards his car, which he had parked in a back alley so that he would not be seen in front of the apartment. Maybe it was the effect of his sign night, I don't know.

Strange weather, endless murders, bombs, never-ending clouds... Meryem's stitches, the clerk at the bank, Zeki Müren's driver, M. in a gray overcoat, and N. from the Movement and Stability Party, a phone call from the center. The man at the Meserret Barbershop. Fingers with rings... The endless winter of a strange country where everyone is different…

Barber, the story of a murderer, a long apocalypse, a dark nook... A masterfully written mystery, a dark novel by Tayfun Pirselimoğlu.
