“If you seek to immerse yourself in an exhilarating historical fiction adventure with a Byzantine detective weasel as your guide, this book is a must-read.”

“For the first fifty years, he went to church, then to the synagogue for another fifty years, and for the remaining fifty years, he went to the mosque. At some point, he also listened to the priests of the German Martin Luther’s priests who had visited Constantinople. At last, he decided to go wherever they were giving out food.”

He saw great earthquakes, plagues, and fires. He managed to wriggle through most of them dexterously. The ones he got caught in did not do him much harm. In one of the great fires of Constantinople, when a house he had broken into to steal bologna caught fire, he could not run away, and he burned, too. The next day, he woke up in ashes as if nothing had happened.

He was born when the city was Constantinople and lived through a thousand phases of this thousand-year-old capital. He knows every corner of the city like the back of his hand and skillfully solves supernatural occurrences with his own methods.

The secret behind Theo’s immortality perhaps lies in the fact that he keeps a finger on the pulse of every mystery in Constantinople and is also always helping his fellow citizens….

So there, what we have here is the story of the extraordinary things that happened to a weasel that lived in the great city for centuries. Countless secrets are hidden in İstanbul’s underground tunnels, long to be illumined.

Get ready; we’re embarking on a journey through time with Theo’s guidance. Theo is a Byzantine citizen who has been trapped in the body of a weasel since he was just an adolescent. He is a courteous, worldly-wise, witty bookworm of a detective.
