The Abyssinian Proof by Jenny White The Ottoman Empire is
plagued by thefts of antiquities from mosques and churches
that within days appear for sale in Europe. Among them is
a reliquary presumed lost for four hundred years and
around which an elaborate and mysterious sect has grown.
In Istanbul magistrate Kamil Pasha is under pressure to
break the smuggling ring amid rising tensions between
Christians and Muslims. He confronts a mysterious
adversary who will stop at nothing to get the reliquary
first. With the Balkans aflame and Kamil’s personal life
in upheaval the search into the old neighborhoods where
Istanbul’s crime rings reside may cost Kamil not only his
position but also his life. Jenny White enters this time
of distrust and turmoil re-creating the gritty underworld
of a dying empire.
