Paul Patoff
Paul Patoff, published in 1887, is one of F. Marion Crawford's cosmopolitan novels, set among the diplomats and travelers of Constantinople and the Bosphorus. The story is told by Paul Griggs, an American writer who recurs in Crawford's fiction. Paul Patoff, a young Russian diplomat, is showing his reckless brother Alexander the sights of Stamboul when Alexander vanishes without a trace, and the search that follows draws Paul into suspicion, a family haunted by a mother's hatred, and a slowly developing love affair. Crawford mixes mystery with romance and loving descriptions of the city, its mosques, bazaars and waterside villas.
