Now, in An Evil Eye, the mystery of Istanbul runs deeper than ever before. Its 1839, and the admiral of the Ottoman fleet has defected to the Egyptians. Its up to the intrepid Investigator Yashim to uncover the mans motives. Of course, Fevzi Ahmet is no stranger to Yashimit was Fevzi who taught the investigator his craft years ago. Hes the only man whom Yashim has ever truly feared: ruthless, cruel, and unswervingly loyal to the sultan. So what could have led Yashims former mentor to betray the Ottoman Empire? Yashims search draws him into the sultans seraglio, a well-appointed world with an undercurrent of fear, ambition, and deep-seated superstition. When the women of the sultans orchestra begin inexplicably to grow ill and die, Yashim discovers that the admirals defection may be rooted somewhere in the torturous strictures of the sultans harem. .
