A man is dead. The room was sealed. And someone has already thought of everything.
Constantinople, 1889. In a locked suite at the city's most glamorous hotel, a Prussian arms dealer negotiating a fortune in rifles for the Sultan's army is found dead, alone, with the door bolted from the inside and the windows sealed shut. No wound. No struggle. Only a beautiful, anonymous gift left hours before, and a room kept strangely, unnaturally warm through the night.
Dr. Elias Photiades, physician and unofficial investigator for the Ministry of Justice, is called to make sense of what the police inspector calls impossible. As he pulls at the threads of the case, he finds a city built entirely on secrets: a rival arms dealer with a grudge, a mistress with a motive, a bribed official with everything to lose, a secretary caught between two loyalties, and a palace intelligence network that may already know more than anyone is willing to say.
Every suspect has a reason. Every alibi has a crack. And the true killer has been standing closer than anyone thought to look.
Death at the Pera Palace is the first book in the Sublime Porte Mysteries, a series of fair-play historical whodunits set across the great cities of the late Ottoman Empire. Perfect for readers of Agatha Christie, Tom Mead, and Anthony Horowitz who want a puzzle that rewards close attention and a setting they've never visited before.
