When controversial American author and conspiracy figure Brent Fasslane disappears after a staged assassination at the Hagia Sophia, Leo Keane and Allissa Stockwell are drawn into a case involving civil unrest, political manipulation, corporate power, and a dangerous technology company planning to control the personal data of millions. Key locations include the Hagia Sophia, Sultanahmet, the Bosporus, hidden Byzantine cisterns, underground chambers, city backstreets, and the districts around Istanbul's historic centre. The story also touches on Uludağ, Ankara, Brighton, and the wider political landscape of modern Turkey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat inspired Istanbul Icarus?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIstanbul Icarus was inspired by my visit to Istanbul in 2016, and later by my overland journey across Europe to reach the city by train.

Each book takes Leo Keane and Allissa Stockwell somewhere new, and the place shapes the investigation as much as any clue or suspect. These are not traditional police procedurals. There are no forensics labs, police stations, or routine interrogations at the centre of the books. Instead, Leo and Allissa search for people who do not want to be found in vivid international settings most detective novels rarely visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs Istanbul Icarus clean or family-friendly?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIstanbul Icarus contains danger, tension, violence, political unrest, and adult themes connected to crime and corruption, but nothing gratuitously explicit.
