Synopsis

'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.
