About the Author:
Michael Pearce was raised in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, where his fascination for language began. He later trained as a Russian interpreter but moved away from languages to follow an academic career, first as a lecturer in English and the History of Ideas, and then as an administrator. He has a strong interest in human rights and in languages, both of which feature indirectly in his new series. Michael Pearce now lives in South-West London.
From AudioFile:
This is a remarkably felicitous blend of narrator and author, both determined to have fun and to give listeners a grand time. When a British diplomat is shot dead after finishing a mysterious swim near Istanbul, the Foreign Service sends out an investigator, who becomes our guide through events taking place in the pre-WWI Ottoman Empire. The adventures offer Bill Wallis a grand opportunity to display numerous accents and to create audio portraits of everyone from a cockney actress to a Turkish policeman to a British-educated Ottoman sultan. In addition, Wallis is a master of dialogue--undercurrents, emotions, and characters are crystalline. This is audiobook acting at its best. A.C.S.
