Jason Goodwin´s much-loved Inspector Yashim returns to solve one final mystery - his most thrilling and most colourful case yet.
In nineteenth-century Istanbul, a Polish prince has been kidnapped. His assassination has been bungled and his captors have taken him to an unused farmhouse. Little do they realize that their revolutionary cell has been penetrated by their enemies, who use the code name La Piuma (the Feather).
Yashim is convinced that the prince is alive. But he has no idea where, or who La Piuma is - and has become dangerously distracted by falling in love. As he draws closer to the prince´s whereabouts and to the true identity of La Piuma, Yashim finds himself in the most treacherous situation of his career: can he rescue the prince along with his romantic dreams?
Jason Goodwin´s bestselling ´Yashim´ series has been published across the globe and received huge critical acclaim. In The Baklava Club, Goodwin takes Yashim on an adventure like no other, through the stylish, sensual world of Ottoman Istanbul.
Jason Goodwin is the Edgar Award-winning author of the Investigator Yashim series. The first five books- The Janissary Tree, The Snake Stone, The Bellini Card, An Evil Eye and The Baklava Club -have been published to international acclaim, alongside Yashim Cooks Istanbul, a cookbook of Ottoman Turkish recipes inspired by the series. Goodwin studied Byzantine history at Cambridge and is the author of Lords of the Horizons: A History of the Ottoman Empire , among other award-winning nonfiction. He lives with his wife and children in England.
