Swimming in troubled waters . . .The Second Secretary of the embassy in Istanbul has died in decidedly strange circumstances. While attempting to swim the Dardanelles Straits, Cunningham has ended up with a bullet in his head.The suspicious circumstances of his death have to be investigated so the Foreign Office sendsout an officer of the Special Branch: Seymour. Istanbul is an interesting place in 1911. It is famously the place where East meets West, a matter of some significance as the old Ottoman Empire crumbles and, in the run-up to possible war, the Great Powers circle for the kill. Very soon Seymour comes to suspect that Cunningham may have been swimming in deeper waters than the Dardanelles.As Seymour tries to untangle the threads of the case it leads him all around this exotic city, from the little coffee shops of the Avenue of Slippers, to the heart of the Topkapi Palace itself.
