At the same time, the nascent Nazi forces are also in Istanbul, for their own reasons. Begg and Philips are thrust into a city that is in transition from the ancient to the modern, reflecting the state of the world in the early 1930s, and they are hard pressed on all sides by assassins and betrayals. Yet, one ally has emerged, an enemy from the past, the dreaded albino Monsieur Zenith, Begg’s nemesis.
Michael Moorcock, hailed as one of the “fifty greatest British writers since 1945” by Time, brings his masterful storytelling to this gripping tale, weaving elements of fantasy, action, and adventure into a thrilling tapestry. The Albino’s Secret is a must-read for those who revel in the thrill of the chase and the allure of the unknown.

About the author
Michael Moorcock
1,209 books3,764 followersMichael John Moorcock is an English writer primarily of science fiction and fantasy who has also published a number of literary novels.
Moorcock has mentioned The Gods of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Apple Cart by George Bernard Shaw and The Constable of St. Nicholas by Edward Lester Arnold as the first three books which captured his imagination. He became editor of Tarzan Adventures in 1956, at the age of sixteen, and later moved on to edit Sexton Blake Library. As editor of the controversial British science fiction magazine New Worlds, from May 1964 until March 1971 and then again from 1976 to 1996, Moorcock fostered the development of the science fiction "New Wave" in the UK and indirectly in the United States. His serialization of Norman Spinrad's Bug Jack Barron was notorious for causing British MPs to condemn in Parliament the Arts Council's funding of the magazine.
During this time, he occasionally wrote under the pseudonym of "James Colvin," a "house pseudonym" used by other critics on New Worlds. A spoof obituary of Colvin appeared in New Worlds #197 (January 1970), written by "William Barclay" (another Moorcock pseudonym). Moorcock, indeed, makes much use of the initials "JC", and not entirely coincidentally these are also the initials of Jesus Christ, the subject of his 1967 Nebula award-winning novella Behold the Man, which tells the story of Karl Glogauer, a time-traveller who takes on the role of Christ. They are also the initials of various "Eternal Champion" Moorcock characters such as Jerry Cornelius, Jerry Cornell and Jherek Carnelian. In more recent years, Moorcock has taken to using "Warwick Colvin, Jr." as yet another pseudonym, particularly in his Second Ether fiction.

This is a fun Sherlock Holmes style novel with occult themes, and villains aplenty.
Our MMC’s Begg and Sinclair give off Holmes and Watson vibes as they scour 1930’s Istanbul for a seemingly uncatchable villain. Begg is also referred to as the Metatemporal detective-a sleuth who investigates cases across multiple alternate realities-although it’s never discussed in detail. And as the duo enjoys the sites and smells of all the city has to offer, they are constantly battling nefarious characters, and keeping their wits about them.
As the story progresses, Sinclair mysteriously disappears, and Begg must rely on supposed friends to get him to the truth. But can anyone be trusted? Especially his most hated enemy, Monsieur Zenith-the Albino-who would love nothing more than to take the detective down. As the authors take us further down the rabbit hole of truth vs fiction, they blend reality with magic and evil forces. It becomes a race against the clock to stop the Red King from changing the world as we know it, and rat out who is a friend, and who is a foe.
Despite the pacing being a little slower at times, I enjoyed this story and its twists. If you enjoy stories in the same realm as Sherlock Holmes, you’ll enjoy this one.

Sir Seaton Begg and Doctor Sinclair are agents of Britain’s secret Temporal Agency trying to stop an elusive assassin plotting world-shaking chaos in 1930s Istanbul. Between shadowy allies, deadly betrayals, rising fascist threats, and the eerie return of Begg’s old nemesis the albino Zenith, this story feels like Sherlock Holmes tangled with spy thriller energy and fantasy undertones.
I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure what I signed up for at first but once the chase got going I was all in. The worldbuilding is rich with ancient streets and ticking clocks, with this mashup of mystery, time travel logic, and pulp-like vibe that kept me guessing. The characters have that rough around the edges charm that makes you root for them even when reality is bending in on itself. It’s clever, it’s atmospheric, and weirdly fun in that “did that just happen” sense.

This was a fairly engaging international historical mystery; however, while I quite liked and can appreciate all the world-building and historical detail, I could see it being a bit too much for some readers. Additionally, the pacing could be tightened up, and while metatemporality is mentioned from the start, I was disappointed not to read and really learn much more about it—especially given how central to the story it's seemingly meant to be???

I just can’t get into this book, the plot not the characters are engaging to me at all and while I keep trying to make myself finish this book, I just can’t. The meta temporal detective angle was intriguing, but it’s never talked about in detail and from reviews, it doesn’t get talked about in the last half either.

(3.5 stars) This reminds me a lot of the spy novels I grew up reading (I read so much Ludlum!) crossed with good old-fashioned Sherlock Holmes. You have eccentric characters chasing mysterious bad guys (often nazi occultists) through ancient cities. This was a very nostalgic read, but it was also way too long. The first half of the book did not mesh well with the second half. I wish the occult aspect had been brought into the story earlier. I also thought the main character was rather boring (although I really enjoyed his nemesis). Ultimately, I just wanted to put this book down and pick up a better book from the same genre.
I received an ARC from the publisher. Opinions are my own.

This review originally published in Looking For a Good Book. Rated 3.5 of 5
I read a fair amount of Michael Moorcock, having been really fascinated by his hero, Elric, an albino prince in a fantasy land, and then relishing his Eternal Champion, which combined the familiar (to me) Elric other characters in Moorcock’s body of work. Somehow, however, I missed the first book in Moorcock’s “Metatemporal Detective” series. I picked this book up because of what I expected was obvious … this must be a new Elric novel. I mean, ‘albino’ and ‘Michael Moorcock’ – how could it be anything else? But it is something else.
It is the early 1930’s and Detective Sir Seaton Begg and his trusty associate, Doctor Sinclair, are sent undercover to Istanbul by Britain’s Temporal Agency – a highly secretive organization. They are looking for the Red King who leads a group of assassins who are planning to take control of the entire world.
Also in Istanbul are Nazi forces – a recently formed but growing arm of the German forces. Their presence will make things much more difficult to Begg and Sinclair who will begin to see how dangerous these men might become.
Istanbul is a city in the pangs of transition, going from the familiar ancient city into a modern one. As such, it is a microcosm of the world in general, with the growing pains of assassinations constantly at their heels.
One man could be their most useful ally … Monsieur Zenith, the albino … Begg’s most feared nemesis.
This is a book that I will have to read again because, honestly, I was maybe a fifth of the way in, very confused, waiting for Elric and wondering why we were in a place where there were Nazis, before I realized, or more accurately, accepted that this was not an Elric novel. Accepting this and moving on, I recognized that it was a Sherlock Holmes pastiche but with a Moorcock flair of subtle reality bending. And then it began to work for me.
And then… And then it made me wonder if it wasn’t an Elric novel after all.
Oh, yes. Moorcock bends and blends realities like nobody else, and whether or not the albino here is Elric in one of his dream states.
What I’ve come to realize since reading this, is that Monsieur Zenith, the albino, is actually a character created by Anthony Skene for his Sexton Blake detective series, appearing as early as 1893. Zenith is “full of an ennui which can only be relieved by opium, danger and adventure” (https://everything.explained.today/Mo...). Zenith, it turns out, was a major influence in Moorcock’s creating Elric, which would explain why I couldn’t help note the similarities. And Detective Sexton Blake? Is Moorcock trying to avoid copyright ownership with his own Detective Seaton Begg?
The more I looked into the background of Monsieur Zenith, the more interested I became in what Moorcock was doing. Hence my interest in rereading this.
But beyond my curiosity in whether or not one of the characters was secretly one of Moorcock’s most famous characters, I did find the book moved slowly. Too slowly. For a pulp fiction detective working for a clandestine temporal agency, I would hope for swifter movement action, but this spent too much time with the characters being curious and cautious.
I’ve since ordered a copy of the first book in the Metatemporal Detective series (published in 2007) as well as a few Sexton Blake books. Maybe familiarizing myself with these will help me enjoy this book more the next time.
Looking for a good book? The Albino’s Secret by Michael Moorcock and Mark Hodder is a fantastical detective novel with a Holmes and Watson-like duo going up against an army of assassins and some Nazis in modern day Istanbul. Like a lot of Moorcock’s books, one reading might not suffice.

Spies, assassins, friends, enemies, and violent creature inhabit this tale.
There are spies Sir Seaton Begg and Dr. Sinclair Philips are “Metatemporal Detectives” and then there’s the Red King who’s an assassin, and a host, and I mean a host, of other characters. It seems as though a new characters appears in every chapter.
Begg and Philips are searching for the secret the Albino holds or knows about. They are blown up, tortured, practice violence, and so much more. And there’s no time travel that I could find.
The description says Sherlock Holmes fans will love this book. Well…..
When I started this book, I thought it was a posthumous tale by Moorcock, but no, at 85 he’s still writing.
Nicholas Boulton does a great job narrating this tale despite the complexity and the confusing story line. For more on the performance see AudioFile Magazine http://www.audiofilemagazine.com

Not Moorcock's finest, but a fun, enjoyable read.
I suspect the blurb on the back evoking Dr. Who and Sherlock Holmes are for the uninitiated readers who are not up on Hodder's and Moorcock's enthusiasm for the Sexton Blake series and its long running villain Monsieur Zenith. I'll admit, I've only recently discovered the Sexton Blake series, but from what little I've delved into it, this book comes off as a homage to that series.
We have differences though--Sir Seaton Begg and his side-kick Doctor Sinclair work for a Metatemporal Agency, and Zenith, an albino, has Elric-esque moments in the novel. There are also hints that Begg may be an incarnation of the Eternal Champion to boot.
Not great literature, or necessarily award winning, but it is a fun, fast-paced read.

In short : Pulpy escapism about stoic Englishmen with indestructible constitutions running, driving, swimming, from A to B while shooting, boxing and fencing with a range of evil lords ,ladies , cultists, Nazis , Bolshevists, etc . Sherlock Holmes , India Jones & Doctor Who stories all in one .This story is filled with characters that are connected to the expansive Moorcock oeuvre.
If you never read any Moorcock before this may be rather confusion and make you feel as if you are dropped in the middle of a series ,and somehow missed a few sequels.

If you like historical mysteries then definitely give this one a go! I thought the mystery was entertaining and I enjoyed the characters. I did find the pacing to be a little slow in places then major events kind of glossed over. Also, I thought the metatemporal aspect was going to play a bigger role. It’s mentioned here and there but it’s such an interesting concept and very underutilized. Overall, a decent read!

Retro styled Boys own thriller, set in Moorcock's multiverse - which would have confused me if I weren't dimly aware of it.
It starts strongly, but the second half starts to wobble. It is, however, an enjoyable read.

How does one say this, if the books I bought somewhere in the mid 1970's for 30p in Applebaum's book shop were like this I would not have bought any more!

It's been fun having Moorcock going back to his pulp/boy's own adventure days while at the same time not being done playing with his multiverse.
What starts as a classic feeling detective story, with Moorcock's Sexton Blake clone...homage, take your pick, in Istanbul, shifts into a spy story and then things get...a bit weird.
A fun romp that hits the ground running and never lets up: chases, shoot outs, detective work, dangerous dames, interesting villains, a ton of easter eggs and a clever sense of humor.

I think this book was accurately presented as a mashup of Dr. Who and Sherlock Holmes. It had a lot of action right from the start and was engaging. There were issues with pacing that made it difficult to stay focused because of how much it just dragged for seemingly no reason. The investigation starts looping in circles, and the side characters felt more like plot devices than real people.
I did enjoy Begg and Phillips and wish more time had been spent on “worldbuilding” so that I didn’t feel so lost on what it is they do. If you’re a fan of historical mysteries, you may enjoy this one. I’m interested in checking out the other books in the series and how the storyline evolves.
