About the book: 2006 / The unsurpassed master of detective investigations Ivan Ptenchikov and his team are back in business. This time medieval Istanbul awaits them. Terrible Janissaries, treacherous eunuchs, seductive concubines - and a merciless mafia feeding lard to Muslims entangled in the networks of vice. Save everyone! Reason, curb, burn... in the sense of ennobling! A worthy task for the “master of intractable issues”».
