Welcome to the world of The Dervish House, the great, ancient, paradoxical city of Istanbul, divided like a human brain in the great, ancient, equally paradoxical nation of Turkey. The year is 2027 and Turkey is about to celebrate the fifth anniversary of its accession to the European Union.

 

Six characters, five days, three interconnected story strands, one central common core, the eponymous dervish house, a character in itself, that spins all these players together in a weave of intrigue, conflict, drama, and a ticking clock of a thriller.
