January 1888. Vera Arti carries The Communist Manifesto in Armenian
through Istanbul's streets, unaware of the men following her. The
police discover a shipload of guns, and the Imperial Ottoman Bank
is blown up. Suspicion falls on a socialist commune that Arti's
friends organized in the eastern mountains. Investigating, Special
Prosecutor Kamil Pasha encounters a ruthless adversary in the
secret police who has convinced the Sultan that the commune is
leading an Armenian secessionist movement and should be destroyed,
along with the surrounding villages. Kamil must stop the massacre,
but he finds himself on the wrong side of the law, framed for
murder and accused of treason, his family and the woman he loves
threatened. The Winter Thief explores the dark obsessions of the
most powerful and dangerous men of the dying Ottoman Empire, as
well as the era's mad idealism.
