Yashim is no ordinary detective. It's not that he's particularly brave. Or that he cooks so well, or reads French novels. Not even that his best friend is the Ambassador from Poland, whose country has vanished from the map. Yashim is a eunuch. As the Sultan plans a series of radical reforms to his empire, a concubine is strangled in the palace harem. And a young cadet is found butchered in the streets of Istanbul. Delving deep into the city's crooked alleyways, and deeper still into its tumultuous past, Yashim discovers that some people will go to any lengths to preserve the traditions of the Ottoman Empire. Brilliantly evoking Istanbul in the 1830s, "The Janissary Tree" is a fast-paced literary thriller with a spectacular cast, from mystic orders and lissom archivists to soup-makers and a seductive ambassador's wife. Darker than any of these is the mysterious figure who controls the Sultan's harem.

Europe is modernizing, and the Ottoman Empire must follow suit. But just as the Sultan plans a series of radical reforms, a concubine is strangled in the palace harem and a young cadet is found butchered in the streets of Istanbul. These murders threaten the subtle balance of power in the Sultan's court. Who is behind them? Only one investigator can find out: Yashim Togalu, a man both gifted and near-invisible in this world. You see, Yashim is a eunuch."---COVER. Nº de ref. del artículo: RWARE0000060122
