    On the Cover:

    The third book in Jason' Goodwin's award winning series takes Yashim from the winding alleyways of Istanbul to the decaying grandeur of nineteenth century Venice.

    Yashim, a brilliant detective who also happens to be a eunuch, is summoned by the new Sultan for an audience. The Sultan charges Yashim with finding a missing masterpiece by the famous Venitian artist Bellini, which, rumour has it, may be somewhere in Venice. Yashim in turn enliststhe help of his friend Palewski, the Polish Ambassador, and goes undercover.

    Venice in 1840 is a city of empty palazzos and silent canals, and Palewski starts to mingle with Venetian dealers, aristocrats and countessas - but when two bodies turn up in the canal, he realises that art in Venice is a deadly business. Then it is up to Yashim to attempt to rescue his intrepid friend from forces bigger than they had ever imagined...
