Or present yourself as you are,
or be what you say you are.
Rumi
The Secret Door is much more than just a thriller. It's a book of secrets. Those that last more than seven centuries. Those about the relationship between Jalaluddin Rumi and Shams of Tabriz. And, above all, those secrets about the murder of Shems from Tabriz.
The Door to Secrets is an unforgettable novel by Ahmet Ümit, one of the most widely read contemporary Turkish authors whose works have sold in the millions. With this novel, he once again demonstrated his mastery, which is reflected in the conjuring of an atmosphere, here the mystical Konya, where Rumi's tomb is located, and the psychological characterization of the characters whose first faces are revealed only in the last pages.
