Goodwin’s passion for Istanbul was sparked while studying Byzantine history at Cambridge. Following the success of A Time For Tea and a six-month trip through Eastern Europe, related in On the Foot of the Golden Horn, in 1987 The Spectator and The Sunday Telegraph deemed him best emerging writer of the year. In 2006, his first historical noir, The Janisssary Tree, was called “a rare treat” by the Times and won Goodwin the Best Novel prize at the Edgar Allan Poe Awards of the American Crime Writers’ Association. The Snake Stone once again features sophisticated detective Yashim, directly inspired by Raymond Chandler, who wrote that a detective is “a man who walks down mean streets but who isn’t mean himself.”
