[1] The series is set in Istanbul and features an unnamed transvestite amateur sleuth and Somer explains the title; "Hop-Çiki-Yaya was a cheerleading chant from Turkish colleges in the early 1960s, and it came to be used in comedy shows to mean gays.
"[2] Regarding his inspiration for the series, Somer has stated that, "Not only in Turkey, but in many countries, transgender people are presented in a way that I don't like at all.
"[2] "I wanted to create a likeable, intelligent, witty, refined, well educated hero/heroine with 'positive skills'.
"[3] To date the series consists of seven novels (four of which have been published in English) although as Somer explains, "The order of the books is a strange story.
By day computer wizz, handsome man, corporate consultant and a skillful hacker; by night hip-underground club owner, glamorous and sexy transvestite, amateur sleuth with an Audrey Hepburn alter-ego."
You can expect more joy, more fun, more giggles and a page turner like The Prophet Murders."
