My Name is Red is an unforgettable murder mystery, set amid the
splendour of sixteenth century Istanbul, from the Nobel prizewinning
author
In the late 1590s, the Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a
celebration of his life and his empire, to be illuminated by the best
artists of the day - in the European manner. At a time of violent
fundamentalism, however, this is a dangerous proposition. Even the
illustrious circle of artists are not allowed to know for whom they
are working. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their
Master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to
professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror?
With the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the
clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures . . . Orhan Pamuk is
one of the world's leading contemporary novelists and in My Name is
Red, he fashioned an unforgettable tale of suspense, and an artful
meditation on love and deception.
