AHMET ÜMIT.
The dervish gate. There was blood on the stone. Translated by Elke Dixon.
New English Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 14 cm). In English. 416 p. The dervish gate. Translated by Elke Dixon. The Dervish Gate is more than just a thriller, it is a book of secrets. The secret of a passion spanning over seven centuries: a flame first lit between Jelalledin Rumi and Shams of Tabriz. The secret behind a seven hundred year old crime: the murder of Shams of Tabriz. Ahmet Umit's use of rich, layered language combined with liberal elements of fantasy strikes a unique chord as he asks intriguing questions on religion and the beliefs of Mevlevi Sufism. With a fresh new perspective, he lays bare the relationship between people and religion, passion and faith, which holds true as much today as it did seven hundred years ago. "There was blood on the stone, a full moon in the sky, the scent of earth in the garden. They were swimming, the trees, in an unsettling chill. It was the time of burgeoning winter roses, the season when the narcissus was in full bloom. Seven men came forth in the garden. Seven wrathful hearts, seven minds seized by hatred, seven finely-honed knives. Seven accursed men trod the space, slicing into seven sections the silence of the garden, toward the wooden door where the victim was unearthed."

Albert & Short Martin Donoghue
The Enforcer : Secrets of My Life with the Krays
John Blake London 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 255 pages. Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Edges of dust jacket have light bumping. Dust jacket is unclipped. Dust jacket is protected in clear plastic sleeve. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. When Reggie Kray walked into a public bar and shot Albert Donoghue from behind Albert learned that the Twins meant business. The hit was intended to avenge a loose remark and also to test Albert's loyalty to the underworld code of silence. It was a test that Albert passed admirably. And so he became Reggie's right-hand man his minder and chief executive. He was deeply implicated in their criminal rackets collecting protection money and acting as paymaster to the other members of the firm. But then the Krays made what was to be one of their most dangerous mistakes. They tried to get Donoghue to admit to the killing of Frank Mitchell. Albert who had become increasingly appalled by the violent turn the Twins' business affairs had been taking testified against them. His evidence landed the Krays 30 years. Albert and his family were sentenced to a lifetime of watching their backs. In this book Albert Donoghue reveals the shocking events he witnessed - it is the inside story of the Krays from a radically different standpoint sensationally charting the rise of the country's most notorious criminals and their final descent into self-destruction.
