About this listen
Mehmet battles for daily survival in the murky Istanbul of 1951 while being forced to learn the craft of theft and violence alongside the other street children. Come evening, he curls up under a stinking jetty in a waterway off the Bosporus Strait. Desperation fills him as he yearns to break free from the life inflicted on him by his drunken, womanizing father, little knowing that his rotting body lies at the bottom of those same waters.
Adulthood comes before Mehmet finds out that it wasn't fate that had taken control when he was a boy, but a very real nemesis. But is it too late? Can he yet turn things around and get his life back?

Strong characters and an excellent story line containing plots and sub plots. Just makes you want to keep listening.
Although loosely linked to book 1 this book can be read as a stand alone story.
I was given a free copy of this audio book at my own request and voluntarily leave this review.

This is a book of conspiracy, violence, emotion and vividly drawn environment, putting the reader right there, in the heart of the story with the well developed characters. Mehmet grows from child to man, enduring so much it becomes emotionally painful, all the while looking for revenge.
Narration is, again, by Dennis Kleinman, whose pleasant on the ear British voice fits perfectly with the novel. As well as reading with appropriate pacing, with eloquence and good intonation, he also gives separate voicing to the various protagonists, and never goes over the top emotionally as he relays the text. Another good performance and well suited to the book.
A most enjoyable, if harrowing, listen. Rim Stone is definitely an author to watch.
I was fortunate in being freely gifted with a complimentary copy of Birth of an Assassin by the rights holder, at my request, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you. It was a satisfying adventure, well rounded and involving which I would certainly recommend to fans of historically based spy and military thrillers. Or anyone who simply enjoys a well written and exciting read.
