Intrigue in Istanbul

By Erica Ruth Neubauer

Book Overview

In Agatha Award-winning author Erica Ruth Neubauer's fourth wanderlust-inspiring historical mystery, it's 1926 and the adventures of vibrant, young American widow Jane Wunderly send her to Istanbul, Turkey, where the search for her archeologist father unravels secrets tied to a mysterious relic from the Ottoman Empire... Istanbul, 1926 : After her historian father makes a clandestine journey abroad, Jane and the dapper Mr. Redvers trace his footsteps while signs of danger loom back home in the United States. They're greeted at their destination by Aunt Millie and unsettling news: Professor Wunderly was on a mission to locate the lost heart of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent--a legendary relic from the Ottoman Empire said to possess potent mystical powers--then vanished completely, leaving behind his unpacked luggage, a perplexing riddle, and an eerie mystery Jane must solve to keep her loved ones safe. What starts off as a clear-cut investigation becomes an intercontinental game of cat and mouse as Jane realizes a gang of nameless figures have been stalking her every move from Turkey to Hungary. And it seems even helpful friends can't be trusted for long when a man is stabbed to death on the Orient Express to Budapest. With Redvers by her side and few clues to rely on, Jane's desperate search for her father leads to centuries-old secrets and an unidentified enemy who could make her disappear like the missing Sultan's heart . . .

A New Adventure With Jane And Redvers

Fun, fascinating, and fast-paced historical mystery. The words just flowed on the page - which kept me entranced from the first page until the last. I adore Jane and Redvers and their adventures. And the authors' descriptions of the people and places our sleuthing couple visited were so well-written, I could easily picture the scenes and imagine myself there. I eagerly await the next book in this series. Oh! I also need to mention how much I LOVE the book covers. They are so eye-catching and well done. Many thanks to Kensigton Books and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation.
