Cafe Istanbul: A Casablanca Reimagined Novel

Café Istanbul is a gripping tale of intrigue, danger, and passion set against the exotic backdrop of the 1950s. Inspired by Casablanca and the lost radio play of the same name, this novel series reimagines a time and place steeped in mystery.

Mademoiselle Madou, a renowned cabaret singer with a mysterious past, navigates the shadowy underworld of post-war Istanbul, where spies, criminals, and secret police converge in the dim corners of Café Istanbul. When American journalist Michael Victor uncovers a deadly plot involving German gunrunners and counterfeit money, Madou is drawn into a web of deceit that spans continents. In a world where trust is scarce, can she escape the shadows closing in around her?

Café Istanbul is a fast-paced noir thriller that captures the essence of Casablanca while launching a reimagined series. Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful new series.
