To celebrate the publication of the new Jason Goodwin novel, The Bellini Card, featuring the Ottoman detective, Yashim, we are offering the chance to win a five day trip for two to the historic palaces and Mosques of Istanbul.


The Bellini Card is the third novel to feature the charming and cunning eunuch detective Yashim. Set around the Sultan's court in 19th Century Istanbul, these novels are rich in historical detail and packed with thrills, adventure and wit, and are the perfect holiday read.


Voyages Jules Verne's "Turkish Delights" holiday is the ideal way to experience a slice of historic Istanbul life. Faber and Faber and Voyages Jules Verne are offering this wonderful holiday, to be taken in Summer 2009. The prize includes return flights from London, four nights in Old Istanbul, with tours to historic palaces, harems and mosques, a cruise along the Bosphorus and a special Ottoman dinner on your final night!


Good Luck :D
