In this fourth book in the legendary Lymond Chronicles, Francis Crawford of Lymond desperately searches the Ottoman empire for his kidnapped child. 
Somewhere within the bejeweled labyrinth of the Ottoman empire, a child is hidden. Now his father, Francis Crawford of Lymond, soldier of fortune and the exiled heir of Scottish nobility, is searching for him while ostensibly engaged on a mission to the Turkish Sultan. At stake is the political order of three continents, for Lymond's child is a pawn in a cutthroat game whose gambits include treason, enslavement, and murder. In that game's final move, which is played inside the harem of the Topkapi palace, Lymond will come face to face with his most implacable enemy and the dreadful ambiguities of his own nature.
With a Foreword by the author.

      Dorothy Dunnett's captivating series of historical novels about the worldwide adventures of a witty, devil-may-care seventeenth-century Scotsman named Francis Crawford was a success when published in the late 1960s. It has never been out of print because it's replete with ferocious excitement, sparkling repartee, and fearsome sword thrusts. Scotsman Andrew Napier has the right accent, but he does not have the articulate energy needed to carry off the lively action of this fourth book in the Lymond Chronicles. Neither is he much able to differentiate among the wealth of characters, who range from Scotsmen and women to all manner of citizens of the Ottoman Empire. A.C.S. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
