This entertaining historical mystery is the exciting debut novel from London-based musician and screenwriter A.E. Goldin. Thrillingly paced and with an enchanting historical setting, it launches an unforgettable new hero in a series that provides the nostalgic pleasure of classic Sherlock Holmes.

London, 1854. Tweny-one-year-old Ben Canaan attracts trouble wherever he goes. His father wants him to be a good Jewish son, working for the family business on Whitechapel Road, but Ben and his friends, the 'Good-for-Nothings', just want adventure.

Then the chance discovery of an enigmatic letter and a photograph of a beautiful woman bring Ben an adventure more dangerous than anything he'd imagined. Suddenly he is thrown into the heart of a mystery that takes him away from everything he has known and all the way to Constantinople, the jewel of an empire and the center of a world on the brink of war.

Ben's only clue is three words: 'The White Death.' Now he must find what links a string of grisly murders, following a trail through kingmaking and conspiracy, poison and high politics, bloodshed and betrayal. In a city of deadly secrets, no one is safe—and one wrong step could cost Ben his life.

I liked the historical context of East End Jewry and Constantinople during the Crimean War. I found the means of murder too gruesome but historically there really was a Russian Third Section, tulip bulbs really contain a poisonous substance, and modern Soviet and Russian means of murder abroad have been no less gruesome and bizarre. I listened to the whole book with rapt attention. I found the moves of the plot to be clever.

Well, I think that I said it all in the title! There was no suspense, I could’ve predicted where it was going, and it was a little boring.

Disappointed. Started off good, but then became very predictable.

This book is filled with distracting anachronisms that make the plot seem even sillier that it would have otherwise.
