Jason Goodwin's much-loved Inspector Yashim returns to solve one final mystery - his most thrilling and most colourful case yet.

Jason Goodwin is the author of two non-fiction books, The Gunpowder Gardens: Travels in China and India in Search of Tea and On Foot to the Golden Horn, which won the John Llewellyn Rhys/Mail on Sunday Prize in 1993. His first Yashim mystery, The Janissary Tree, won the 2007 Edgar Allan Poe Award and became an international bestseller; the fourth book in the series, An Evil Eye, was published in 2011 to great critical acclaim. Across the series, his books have been translated into over forty languages. He lives in Dorset with his wife Kate and their four children.
