Celeste is working in Istanbul, misty Turkish city of mosques,
bazaars and palaces, with the sparkling blue sea flowing through
its centre. Yet her dream adventure abroad is turning out to be
more like a nightmare. Her rich students at the swanky language
school seem more interested in their manicures and designer clothes
than in her English lessons. The morose, stubbly caretaker of the
orphanage where Celeste volunteers stares at her beloved boys like
a vulture sizing up its next meal. Worst of all, Celeste's landlady
is doing a bad job of hiding a shady secret: she lets slip puzzling
comments that don't make sense, leaves sinister charms around the
house, and puts magic spells in places she should not be going. One
day, Celeste's favourite boy goes missing from the orphanage, and
Celeste discovers that she herself is the target of her landlady's
dark plot. Can Celeste save the child - and save herself - before
her landlady destroys her? This mystery adventure which unfolds
along the shores of the Bosphorus will entice fans of Khaled
Hosseini, Alexander McCall Smith and Jason Goodwin.
