The New York Times–bestselling author imagines a modern Europe under centuries of Ottoman rule in this time travelling "what if" thriller.
Istanbul, 1683: Mehmed IV, sultan of the Ottoman Empire, is preparing to lay siege to Vienna, capital of the Holy Roman Empire, when a mysterious visitor arrives in his bedroom—naked, covered in strange tattoos—to deliver a dangerous, world-changing message.
Paris, 2017: Ottoman flags have been flying over the great city for three hundred years, ever since its fall—along with all of Europe—to the empire's all-conquering army. Notre Dame has been renamed the Faith Mosque. Public spaces are segregated by gender. And Kamal Arslan Agha, a feted officer in the sultan's secret police, is starting to question his orders.
Rumors of an impending war with the Christian Republic of America, attacks by violent extremists, and economic collapse have heightened surveillance and arrests across the empire. Tasked with surveying potential threats, Kamal has a heavy caseload—and conscience. Then a mysterious stranger—naked, covered in strange tattoos—appears on the banks of the Seine, and Kamal is called in to investigate.
"The best what-if thriller for a long, long time—makes you think, makes you sweat, and makes you choose, between what is and what might have been." —Lee Child
Empire of Lies is also published as The Ottoman Secret in the UK.
