Istanbul, 1906, twilight of the Ottoman Empire.
When the body of a young girl washes ashore at the Sweet Waters of Asia, detective Salih is reluctantly drawn back into a world he abandoned after the death of his wife. Accompanied by his cousin Hanzade and his devoted friend Isaac, he begins an investigation that leads them to the highest circles of Sultan Abdulhamid’s court. What begins as an inquiry into a single murder soon widens into something far more dangerous when a criminal from Salih’s past resurfaces, threatening not only the Empire but those closest to Salih. As the murders multiply and old secrets come to light, Salih, Isaac, and Hanzade are drawn into a hunt that will take them from the mansions of the Bosphorus to the coffee houses of Sultanahmet to untangle a web of revenge, ambition, and buried treason.
“A dark mystery and a great read that leads from the placid shores of the Bosporus to the intriguing heart of late Ottoman Istanbul” –
Jonathan Harris
I am most pleased to recommend Trivent publishing to anyone who is at the “publish a book” stage of life. The team is professional, outstanding, supportive, they are intelligent editors who will direct, not coddle, an author on his/her journey to publication.
I have been working with the Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence since its debut in 2017. It has been a pleasant experience to see how the papers take shape in the process from submission to peer review to publication. The editor-in-chief together with the Trivent team do a tremendous job and are always seeking quality above all!
I’ve participated in two conferences organized by Trivent in the last few years and both were a nice experience – went smoothly and had decent talks in good spirit. When it came to managing manuscripts, I was surprised by the professionalism by which they helped my text get published. I definitely enjoyed working with them!
