Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First British Edition. Winner of the 2007 Edgar Award for Best Novel. "Historian Goodwin, author of LORDS OF THE HORIZON (1999), introduces a promising new mystery series set in the waning days of the Ottoman Empire. When a string of murders disturbs the tenuous tranquility of the sultan's royal court, savvy eunuch Yashim Togalu is called upon to investigate. Digging deeper into the past in order to understand the perils of the present, Yashim discovers a link between the crimes and the Janissaries, a disloyal band of elite soldiers banned by the sultan ten years earlier. As Yashim wends his way in and out of the opulent palace and through the sordid back alleys of nineteenth-century Istanbul, the reader is treated to an appropriately exotic tour of a time and a place where intrigue, deceit, and corruption fueled perilous personal and political passions." (Margaret Flanagan, Booklist). New, unread, first British edition, first printing copy, in new, mylar-protected dust jacket.{Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} M71. Seller Inventory # 021901
