Description
Embark on a thrilling alternate historical mystery with Sir Seaton Begg and Doctor Sinclair as they chase the enigmatic Red King assassin through the streets of Istanbul, perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who.
Sent undercover by Britain’s famed yet clandestine Temporal Agency to Istanbul, Detective Sir Seaton Begg and Doctor Sinclair are on the hunt for the Red King, the leader of a secretive group of assassins who are plotting to change the shape of the world. At the same time, the nascent Nazi forces are also in Istanbul, for their own reasons. Begg and Philips are thrust into a city that is in transition from the ancient to the modern, reflecting the state of the world in the early 1930s, and they are hard pressed on all sides by assassins and betrayals. Yet, one ally has emerged, an enemy from the past, the dreaded albino Monsieur Zenith, Begg’s nemesis.
Michael Moorcock, hailed as one of the “fifty greatest British writers since 1945” by Time, brings his masterful storytelling to this gripping tale, weaving elements of fantasy, action, and adventure into a thrilling tapestry. The Albino’s Secret is a must-read for those who revel in the thrill of the chase and the allure of the unknown.
