商品簡介
Yashim, the celebrated Ottoman detective, leaves the winding alleyways of Istanbul for a new mystery in the decaying grandeur of Venice.
Yashim is charged by the Sultan to discover a lost painting by Bellini. Enlisting the help of his friend Palewski, the Polish Ambassador, our Ottoman detective goes undercover. Venice in 1840 is a city of empty palazzos and silent canals, where Palewski starts to mingle with Venetian dealers - self-made men, faded aristocrats and the hedonistic Contessa, a flaming blonde of a certain age. But when two bodies turn up in the canal, he realises that art in Venice is a deadly business. And meanwhile, what has happened to Yashim?
