When vibrant American widow Jane Wunderly arrives in 1920s Turkey in search of her father, she finds a country redefining itself after the fall of the Ottoman Empire-and a deadly criminal who can't escape the past . . . Istanbul, 1926: After her archeologist father makes a clandestine journey abroad, Jane and the dapper Mr. Redvers trace his footsteps while signs of danger loom back home in the United States. They're greeted at their destination by Aunt Millie and unsettling news: Professor Wunderly was on a mission to locate the lost heart of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent-a legendary relic from the Ottoman Empire said to possess potent mystical powers-then vanished completely, leaving behind his unpacked luggage, a perplexing riddle, and an eerie mystery Jane must solve to keep her loved ones safe. What starts off as a clear-cut investigation becomes an intercontinental game of cat and mouse as Jane realizes a gang of nameless figures have been stalking her every move from Turkey to Hungary. And it seems even helpful friends can't be trusted for long when a man is stabbed to death on the Orient Express to Budapest. With Redvers by her side and few clues to rely on, Jane's desperate search for her father leads to centuries-old secrets and an unidentified enemy who could make her disappear like the missing Sultan's heart . . .

      Set in 1926, Agatha winner Neubauer’s diverting fourth Jane Wunderly mystery (after 2022’s Danger on the Atlantic) takes Jane home to Boston. There she learns that her father—“a professor of history, with a specialized interest in the Ottoman Empire”—to whom she was planning to introduce her fiancé, Redvers, has taken out a large bank loan and fled to Istanbul in search of an ancient artifact, the heart of Sultan Sulieman the Magnificent. Jane and Redvers embark on a voyage to Istanbul, where she hopes to locate her father and ensure that he returns the money to the bank, but their task proves far from simple. In Istanbul, instead of her father, the pair encounter a host of unsavory characters. When her father’s translator and confidant is killed in an elevator in their hotel, Jane realizes she could be in grave danger. The action builds to a satisfying resolution as Jane and Redvers follow clues that lead them to Budapest, Hungary. Suspenseful twists and turns more than compensate for a culprit astute readers may pinpoint early on. This fast-paced, adventure-filled mystery should win Neubauer new fans. Agent: Ann Collette, Rees Literary.
