Annotation:
Expatriate businessman Leon Bauer was ideally situated to aid the Allies in World War II Istanbul, and once the war is over, he is given a final covert mission. Charged with protecting a Romanian defector who holds important information about the Soviets, Bauer is forced to go on the run from Istanbul's notoriously brutal secret police. How far should he go to protect the Romanian, a suspected war criminal? Is there anyone in the ancient Ottoman city he can really trust? Bauer's dilemma is as twisted and complex as the richly atmospheric streets that form the backdrop for this thriller.

Praise
"[This] is a first-rate espionage novel, filled with complexity and thrills, but its greatest success may be in this much more universal literary exploration: how an ordinary man is transformed by extraordinary circumstances." (signature review)
