Following the success of the Edgar Award-winning first novel, the series continues to enchant readers. In this installment, set in Istanbul in 1840, the new sultan, Abdülmecid, learns of a rumor that Bellini’s lost masterpiece, a portrait of Mehmet the Conqueror, may have resurfaced in Venice. Tasked with investigating the matter, Yashim cleverly sends his Polish ambassador friend, Palewski, in his place, knowing the sultan's advisers oppose any extravagant purchases. Disguised and navigating the shadows of a decaying Venice, Palewski finds himself amidst a dangerous chase for the painting, as a killer stalks the city. Various factions, including art dealers and faded aristocrats, are also on the hunt for the elusive Bellini. As the mystery deepens, questions arise about the true danger of the painting and its connection to the enigmatic Contessa d’Aspi d’Istria. With time running out, Yashim must unravel the intricate web of secrets before the killer strikes again.
