In Istanbul, in the late 1590s, the Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a celebration of hik life and his empire, to be illuminated by the best artists of the day. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror?

A thrilling murder mystery, My Name Is Red is also a stunning meditation on love, artistic devotion and the tensions between East and West. --back cover

Interesting passages and a good female character, but far too long and with too many detailed descriptions about miniatures and the philosophy behind them... I didn't get to the end.
