Hammer and Rose: A Behzat Ç. Story (Çekiç ve Gül: Bir Behzat Ç. Hikâyesi) is a Turkish web series that mixes crime investigation with drama, thriller, action and humour. Made by Ortaks Yapım, its first episode arrived on December 6, 2022. Drawing on Emrah Serbes's novel Çekiç ve Gül, it picks up the world of Behzat Ç. Bir Ankara Polisiyesi, the earlier Ankara crime series. The first two seasons streamed on BluTV; the third was released on HBO Max, which had taken over BluTV, under the Max Originals label.

At its centre is Behzat Ç., an Ankara homicide detective who refuses to follow the rules and catches criminals his own way, played by Erdal Beşikçioğlu. The story begins when the unit's cat, Gaspi Ç., is found dead. When bodies turn up on the dried-out lake land where the cat was buried, the detectives are drawn into a chain of murders that leads to the family running Demirdelen Construction and to Behzat's old enemy Memduh Başgan.

Besides Beşikçioğlu, the cast includes İnanç Konukçu, Berkan Şal, Canan Ergüder, Ege Aydan, Güven Kıraç and Burak Dakak, with Dakak as Ateş and Aydan as Şevket.
