The Golem of Rhodes: A further tale of the sica - Paperback

by Jonathan Harries (Author)

Rhodes, 1840. A horrific injustice on the Island calls for equally horrific retribution.

For the new Emperor of the Ottoman Empire, there is only one man for the job: My ancestor, David Smulian-Hasson, the great assassin from Baghdad.

Can the five European consuls on the Island of Rhodes get away with their part in a crime against the peaceful Jewish community that became known as the "Blood Libel of Rhodes"? Not if David Smulian-Hasson has anything to do with it.

Fresh off an assignment in the lawless city of Karbala, David receives a contract from Sultan Abdulmecid I and his powerful advisor, Reshid Pasha. With his sica strapped to his left ankle, David embarks on a mission to right the wrong.

With the help of the brilliant Ethiopian Eskender and the beautiful Circassian Sha
Hakuz (who knows a thousand ways to reduce stress), David must overcome intrigues
and betrayals, potholes and pitfalls, and a monstrous enemy known only as "Nutless" to
complete his assignment.

This is Jonathan's 11th book and the sixth volume in the sica series. He lives in New York with his wife and their dog, Pippa, and believes a good martini is one of life's great joys.
