Aimed at intermediate Turkish learners, Kaçan Adam: A Turkish Learner’s Crime Novel is a short mystery / detective story in idiomatic Turkish complete with exercises, vocabulary and grammar review. Over the course of 24 lively chapters, it follows the fate of former intelligence officer Erkan Demirel, who has been convicted of selling secret military documents but who manages to escape from prison and embarks on a quest to prove his innocence… For use either as a supplement to classroom instruction (CEFR A2-B1 and ACTFL, Lower Intermediate Level) or individually, this book will guide students through their first complete novel in Turkish while revising and reinforcing key points of modern Turkish grammar and expression.

"Finally, a novel that intermediate high/advanced low learners of Turkish will enjoy reading that will also help them see complex grammar in context while building vocabulary! I highly recommend this new fun and effective teaching tool." - Roberta Micallef, Professor of the Practice Turkish, Boston University, USA
