The Janissary Tree Summary

The Janissary Tree by Jason Goodwin

A concubine is strangled in the Sultan's palace harem, and a young cadet is found butchered in the streets of Istanbul.

Brilliantly evoking Istanbul in the 1830s, The Janissary Tree is a bloody, witty and fast-paced literary thriller with a spectacular cast.
