My Name Is Red by Omar Pamuk is set in the late 1590s, at the court of an Ottoman Sultan who has commissioned a great book: a celebration of his life and empire, to be illuminated, in the European manner, by the best artists of the day. In a time of violent fundamentalism, following a European cultural style is a dangerous proposition for all involved.

The illustrious circle of artists is not allowed to know for whom they are working, but when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their Master has to seek outside help. Was the painter murdered for his art, out of love, or because of religious terror? The Sultan demands an answer within three days…perhaps the unfinished paintings hold the clue…
