My name is Red

** Nights of the Plague, the new novel by Orhan Pamuk ** Nobel Prize in Literature, International Dublin Impact Award Winner, Spectator, Observer, The New Yorker, The Guardian, My Name is Red, an unforgettable whodunnit set in 16th-century Istanbul by the Nobel Prize-winning author. In the late 1590s, a sultan secretly commissioned a magnum opus: a celebration of his life and empire, to be illuminated by the finest artists of his day—in the European style. But in a time of violent fundamentalism, this is a dangerous proposition. Even the most esteemed circle of artists is not allowed to know who is working for him. But when a miniaturist is murdered, his master is forced to seek outside help. Was the slain painter the victim of professional rivalry, romantic jealousy, or religious terrorism? With the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the secret lies in the unfinished paintings... Orhan Pamuk is one of the world's foremost contemporary novelists, and in My Name is Red, he has woven an unforgettable tale of suspense and a masterful meditation on love and deception.
