'The best what if thriller for a long, long time' LEE CHILD
PARIS, 2017. 300 YEARS AFTER ALL OF EUROPE FELL TO THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE . . .
Kamal Agha is a special investigator for the state police, forced to uphold the feared sultan's strict regime.
When a mysteriously tattooed, naked man appears by the Seine and murders a passerby, it's up to Kamal to track him down.
But it's a trail that leads him to an astonishing secret.
A secret that exposes an empire of lies - and which the sultan's men will do anything to keep hidden.
Forced on the run, Kamal knows he will be killed for what he knows - unless he dares use it to save himself.
But doing so could wipe out his whole world, and everyone he ever loved along with it . . .
This fast-paced adventure packed with thrills and intrigue, will appeal to fans of The Man in the High Castle.
