When a man performs a dangerous, symbolic act on the mountain known as the Citadel, a Vatican-like city-state that towers above the city of Ruin in contemporary Turkey, a deadly chain of events is set in motion that could destroy the certainties of modern life.

None

On my bender of Dan Brown-esque books, I came across this one and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The story is sufficiently crazy, the characters feel solid, if maybe a tiny bit tropey, and the writing is good. It's not set in a real location, the citadel is modeled on a combination of actual places. When I picked it up, I somehow missed, that it's the first in a trilogy. As I am writing this, I have already started the second book. You can take that as an endorsement.
