For there was no such story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt falls to an unlikely pair - a London doctor and a literature professor from Istanbul - to unravel the clues to this puzzling mystery, clues that lie buried in the stories of their own families and lead back to the fin-de-si鐵le court of Abd?hamid II, the last Ottoman ruler to command the world stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistorians write of the Sultan's addiction to Sherlock Holmes. He would even have the stories read to him as he lay in bed at night - an obsession (it is now safe to reveal) that was to save his life and alter the course of a dying empire. But solving one mystery can mean disturbing other, darker secrets, such as the real story of 'The Second Wife'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Finkel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0995756651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780995756656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Even Keel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.14w x 1.02d","brand":"Andrew Finkel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070881362175,"sku":"9780995756656","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d112f87d-cb8b-4353-9fa8-06e8d03f1628.jpg?v=1685432877","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-adventure-of-the-second-andrew-finkel-9780995756656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
