Istanbul – the metropolis straddling East and west, is the stage for this new sizzling short story collection by Philip Stone. We follow three men who encounter the different pleasures that the city can offer to those who are open to new possibilities..

In Secrets of the Hammam, Michael meets the enticing Fardin, who shows him around the traditional bath house. The Rug Shop tells the story of how Adam gets a little bit more than he bargained for when he spots the young Arab man Yasin in the Grand Bazaar. Finally, in Galata Bridge, Quentin seduces the hot taxi driver Mehmet, despite the young man’s protests.

You will never see Istanbul quite the same way after reading these stories.
