Brother Kemal, Arjouni - C

                                          This is the last in a German series, set in Frankfurt, about Kemal Kayanaka, a German of Turk parentage and a wise-cracking PI. The author passed away earlier this year in his late forties. Marilyn Stasio, the NY Times book editor for the Crime  section recommended it; I follow her column carefully, thoughtfully and use it as the basis of many of my purchases. This' however, did not resonate with me, as the plot was straightforward and there was virtually no background on either Frankfurt or the Turkish minority in Germany.
