Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur Lefevre, a French archaeologist, has arrived in Istanbul determined to uncover a lost Byzantine treasure. Yashim is commissioned to find out more about him. But when Lefevre's mutilated body is discovered outside the French embassy, it turns out that there is only one suspect: Yashim himself. Once again, Yashim finds himself in a race against time to find the startling truth behind a shadowy secret society dedicated to the revival of the Byzantine Empire, caught in a deadly game deep beneath the city streets, a place where the stakes are high - and betrayal is death. Biographie de l'auteur Jason Goodwin studied Byzantine history at Cambridge University. On Foot to the Golden Horn, his second book, recounts the story of his six-month pilgrimage across Eastern Europe to reach Istanbul. Jason went on to write Lords of the Horizons: A History of the Ottoman Empire.
