Janissary Tree by Jason Goodwin
Yashim is no ordinary detective. It's not that he's particularly brave. Or that he cooks so well, or reads French novels. In this literary thriller, delving deep into Istanbul's crooked alleyways, and deeper still into its tumultuous past, Yashim discovers that some people will go to any lengths to preserve the traditions of the Ottoman Empire.
Jason Goodwin studied Byzantine history at Cambridge University and is the author of Lords of the Horizons: A History of the Ottoman Empire, among other books of cultural history and travel. He lives in Sussex, England, is married with four children, speaks French and German and once walked to Istanbul from Poland. This is the first of a series of novels featuring Yashim.
