A while back Mary Reed and Eric Mayer wrote a series set in Constantinople, featuring John, the Lord Chamberlain to the Emperor Justinian. I really liked this series, and when I was lucky enough to visit Istanbul on a business trip, I enjoyed the background knowledge I'd picked up while reading it. (And also while reading Barbara Nadel's contemporary Inspector Ikmen series...and Jason Goodwin's Investigator Yashim books...and...)

Now the first in the series, One for Sorrow, is on sale for only $2.99 in the US.

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VMH4KG8
Kobo US (discountable): https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/one-for-sorrow-35

And the tenth, Ten for Dying, is even less at the moment - it's $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Another of many series that I wish had kept going...
Not on sale in the UK, but Kobo UK are a bit cheaper than Amazon UK, standardising on £3.99/book and £9.99 for the 1st 4 as a box set. Amazon are a mix of £3.99 and £4.99 and a bit over £10 for the set - and I have a 20% off code.

I might take a punt on these; they sound interesting; I wonder how much they owe to Procopius' Secret Histories?
