In the mid-19th century, a young man named Ben flees troubles at home in London's East End, only to find himself embroiled in murder and mayhem in Constantinople. There he meets a wide cast of characters who both help and hinder as he tries to uncover the truth behind a series of unexplained deaths. Liam Gerrard's steady narration balances Ben's naïveté and surprisingly capable derring-do. His strong accents create a host of believable characters, and his measured pacing allows tension to build as the plot unfolds. Gerrard ensures that listeners root for a young Englishman on the hunt for a serial killer in the Gateway to the East. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
