Inhaltsangabe
The third book in Jason Goodwin's celebrated series takes Yashim from the winding alleyways of Istanbul to the decaying grandeur of Venice. Charged by the Sultan to find a stolen painting by Bellini, he enlists the help of his friend Palewski, the Polish Ambassador, and goes undercover. Venice in 1840 is a city of empty palazzos and silent canals, and Palewski starts to mingle with Venetian dealers - self-made men, faded aristocrats and the hedonistic Contessa. But when two bodies turn up in the canal, he realises that art in Venice is a deadly business. And meanwhile, what has happened to Yashim? "The Bellini Card" is a thrilling adventure in which a quest for a lost painting turns into dangerous game of cat and mouse that threatens to destroy the Ottoman throne and overturn the balance of power in Europe.

Softcover. Zustand: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Chosen by The Sunday Times as one of the 100 best crime novels since 1945, this captivating series features investigator Yashim, who embarks on a thrilling journey to Venice. Following the success of the Edgar Award-winning first novel, the series continues to enchant readers. In this installment, set in Istanbul in 1840, the new sultan, Abdulmecid, learns of a rumor that Bellini's lost masterpiece, a portrait of Mehmet the Conqueror, may have resurfaced in Venice. Tasked with investigating the matter, Yashim cleverly sends his Polish ambassador friend, Palewski, in his place, knowing the sultan's advisers oppose any extravagant purchases. Disguised and navigating the shadows of a decaying Venice, Palewski finds himself amidst a dangerous chase for the painting, as a killer stalks the city. Various factions, including art dealers and faded aristocrats, are also on the hunt for the elusive Bellini. As the mystery deepens, questions arise about the true danger of the painting and its connection to the enigmatic Contessa d'Aspi d'Istria. With time running out, Yashim must unravel the intricate web of secrets before the killer strikes again. Artikel-Nr. 5e6e807d-641a-45af-a1af-0b5e60cb0490
