Description
An English novelist uncovers a trail of crime in Istanbul - and all roads lead to the mysterious master criminal Dimitrios.
English crime novelist Charles Latimer is travelling in Istanbul when he makes the acquaintance of Turkish police inspector Colonel Haki. It is from him that he first hears of the mysterious Dimitrios - an infamous master criminal, long wanted by the law, whose body has just been fished out of the Bosphorus.
Fascinated by the story, Latimer decides to retrace Dimitrios' steps across Europe to gather material for a new book. But, as he gradually discovers more about his subject's shadowy history, fascination tips over into obsession. And, in entering Dimitrios' criminal underworld, Latimer realises that his own life may be on the line.
The Mask of Dimitrios is a gripping tale of intrigue and danger, where the line between hunter and hunted blurs, leading Latimer into the heart of darkness.
