Ben Leman

Behind the gleaming walls of Güzelköy lies Turkey’s most exclusive seaside enclave — a place where privilege is inherited, beauty is curated, and the elite answer to no one. At the center is Mayor Şahika Karaca and her two lifelong allies, Mine and Suzi. Into their perfect world slips Leman, a new teacher at the exclusive Yıldızhan College, whose acceptance into their circle seems unlikely… until she saves their children from a scandal that could ruin them. But Leman hasn’t come to Güzelköy for the schools or the scenery. Leman is out to find her father’s killer, a mystery that has haunted her for years. As Leman works her way deeper into their glittering world, each step draws her closer to the truth — and deeper into danger. Meanwhile, the lifelong loner becomes hopelessly infatuated with a dangerous liaison that could upset everything. In Güzelköy, where appearances are everything, Leman is about to discover just how far the women who run it will go to protect their own.
