Late one night, our glamour-puss nightclub manager receives a visit from Buse. For many years, Buse has kept letters and photos of a compromising nature, from a former relationship with a powerful lover. But her apartment has been ransacked and Buse worries about the consequences.Being an obliging sort, our detective agrees to help out, but what initially appears to be a personal favour turns out to have consequences that run much deeper. When the web of intrigue reveals that an arch-conservative politician and maybe even the Mafia are involved, it’s time to down lipstick and send an SOS via the underground Istanbul grapevine.
