Fifth mystery featuring Kemal Kayankaya Valerie de Chavannes, a financier's daughter, summons private investigator Kemal Kayankaya to her villa in Frankfurt's diplomatic quarter and commissions him to find her missing sixteen-year-old daughter Marieke. She is alleged to be with an older man who is posing as an artist. To Kayankaya, it seems like a simple case: an upper class girl with a thirst for adventure. Then another case turns up: The Maier Publishing House believes it needs to protect author Malik Rashid from attacks by religious fanatics at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Rashid has written a novel about, amongst other things, attitudes towards homosexuality in an Arabic country. Kayankaya is hired to be Rashid's bodyguard for three days. The two cases seem to be straightforward, but together they lead to murder, rape and abduction, and even Kayankaya comes under suspicion of being a contract killer for hire.

The return of Kemal Kayankaya, "The ultimate outsider among hard-boiled private eyes" (Marilyn Stasio in The New York Times Book Review) "A master of crime fiction... The sardonic humor survives intact, the writing is energetic, the plot moves right along." —The New York Times OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE Jakob Arjouni's first novel, Happy Birthday, Turk!, was published when its author was just twenty. The book and its beleaguered hero, Turkish-German P.I., Kemal Kayankaya, instantly found an adoring audience around the world, and three more bestselling Kayankaya novels quickly followed. More than twenty-five years after Arjouni’s debut—and after publishing a string of critically acclaimed literary novels—the author returns to his most beloved character. In Brother Kemal, we find that while things in Frankfurt have gotten glitzier, it's still the ugliest town in all of Germany, and the city's underworld has hardly changed at all. Valerie de Chavannes, a financier's daughter, summons Kayankaya to her villa in Frankfurt's diplomat's quarter and commissions him to find her missing sixteen-year-old daughter. She is alleged to be with an older man who is posing as an artist. To Kayankaya, it seems like a simple case: an upper class girl with a taste for adventure. Then another seemingly posh job turns up: a major publisher needs to protect a writer who has offended Islamist groups during the Frankfurt Book Fair. The two cases seem to be straightforward, but it goes all-wrong for Kayankaya, as it almost always does. Luckily, that's when he's at his best.

“Kemal Kayankaya is the ultimate outsider among hard-boiled private eyes.” —Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE To rescue a kidnapped prostitute, Kemal Kayankaya must face some of Germany’s most depraved and dangerous criminals. Fortunately, some of them are his friends... Love is never easy—especially when your girlfriend is an illegal Thai prostitute who has been kidnapped (again) by a gang of sex traffickers. Fortunately for the hapless fiancé, wisecracking gumshoe Kemal Kayankaya is on the case. The son of a Turkish garbage collector, he knows a thing or two about living in the ethnic fringes of the ugliest German city of them all: Frankfurt. Kayankaya plunges into the city’s underbelly, where the police don’t care if you live or die, and the powerful view an illegal alien as just another paycheck. One Man, One Murder populates its pages with unforgettable characters, whip-smart dialogue, and a connoisseur’s collection of grim details. But it is Arjouni’s dead-on description of contemporary Europe’s racial politics, vacuous nationalism, and so- cial injustice that make his novels rise above the rest.

This dissertation, a study of Jakob Arjouni's Kayankaya series (1985-2012), focusses on the significance of the detective as an outsider and the extent to which Kemal Kayankaya, Arjouni's protagonist, fits into that role. While focusing on how Kayankaya does or does not belong, the study relates the detective's opposing desires for order (e.g., crime solving, domestic stability) and chaos (e.g., violence, drunkenness, sexual titillation) to Nietzsche's theory of the Apollonian and Dionysian. In doing this, the dissertation reveals some of Arjouni's strategies for isolating his detective while also making Kayankaya appear stereotypically German. Chapter One introduces the series and establishes the genre conventions of hard-boiled detection. Several scholars refer to Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade and Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe in their analyses of Arjouni. The works in which these detectives appear serve as a backdrop for the study on Kayankaya. Chapter Two surveys the scholarship on Kayankaya to date. This chapter presents an overview of findings so far by identifying major themes amongst the publications on Kemal Kayankaya. After presenting this overview, I lay out the goals for this dissertation. Chapter Three deals with Kayankaya the outsider and how Arjouni demonstrates Kayankaya's isolation. To emphasize Kayankaya's alterity (predicated on his Turkish appearance within Germany), Arjouni's minor characters use deixis to exclude Kayankaya, stereotypes to classify him, and associate him with waste and decay. Comparing Arjouni's works to Hammett's and Chandler's shows that while all of these detectives are outsiders, their unbelonging is defined along different lines. This distinction undergirds my observation that Kayankaya simultaneously belongs and does not belonging. Chapter Four explores how Arjouni uses hard-boiled motifs of drunkenness, violence, and sexual titillation to present Kayankaya escaping his unbelonging. I argue that the younger Kayankaya escapes his sense of seclusion by drinking excessively and subjecting himself to intense violence. Indeed, this violence is the most acceptable form of physical intimacy that Kayankaya can resort to, a trait that he shares with his American forebears. As the series continues, though, Kayankaya develops a community. This belonging decreases his need for drink and brutality, making him less hard-boiled in the conventional sense.

When a Turkish worker is stabbed to death in Frankfurt's red light district, Kemal Kayankaya, a Turkish German private investigator, is hired by the murdered man's wife to find his killer. With first-hand experience of the resentment directed against foreigners in his now-native Germany, Kayankaya is plunged into an uncomfortably personal mesh of drug addiction, prostitution and police cover-ups as he nears the truth behind the Turkish worker's death.

“Kemal Kayankaya is the ultimate outsider among hard-boiled private eyes.” —Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE Turkish detective Kemal Kayankaya might not know when it’s recycling day, but now he has to help four eco-terrorists beat a murder rap... Wisecracking PI Kemal Kayankaya cares more about sausage and beer than politics, but when he’s hired to defend four eco-terrorists charged with murdering a chemical plant owner he finds himself stuck in the middle of Germany’s culture wars. It doesn’t take long for Kayankaya to realize that the whole situation stinks and that both the Left and the Right have blood on their hands. And is the fiery journalist Carla Reedermann dogging his steps because she smells a story, or is she after something more? A hardboiled noir in the Chandler tradition that also provides a wry critique of contemporary racial and environmental politics, More Beer shows why Jakob Arjouni’s series of Kayankaya novels has become a bestselling international sensation.

“Kemal Kayankaya is the ultimate outsider among hard-boiled private eyes.” —Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE As a Turkish immigrant raised by Germans, he's regularly subjected to racism in the gritty, working-class city, and getting work isn't easy. So when his friend Romario asks Kayankaya to protect him against thugs demanding protection money from his restaurant business, the down-and-out Kayankaya takes the job. Except these are no ordinary thugs. They turn out to be battle-hardened Croatian nationalists looking to take over the rackets in Frankfurt, and they do not take kindly to Kayankaya's interference with their plans. But try as he might, Kayankaya just can't seem to stay out of their way … What ensues is a brilliant novel about organized crime, immigration, the fallout from the Balkan wars, and the madness of nationalism from one of Europe's finest crime writers.
