Death by Design - Barbara Nadel

Another Ikmen detective mystery by Barbara Nadel, from 2010.  I enjoyed this book - it had some great details about Istanbul and also, as much of the action takes place in London, brings a different perspective to London.  Very topical, as many of her novels are - this time focusing on human trafficking, the fake goods industry, and terrorism.
The best part of this book is the strides she has taken as a writer.  Her style is much tighter and less awkward - there have been earlier books where I have sworn to not read her stuff any more.  She has obviously gotten more skilled as she has gone on.
Worth reading, just pick the more recent ones.
