Timothy Jay Smith - Istanbul Crossing

House of Mystery Radio on NBC

In this coming-of-age literary thriller, Ahdaf, a gay Syrian refugee, after watching his cousin executed by ISIS for being homosexual, flees to Istanbul for safety.

Ahdaf’s reputation as a

people smuggler has put him in danger once more. A Syrian refugee himself,

Ahdaf earns a meager living in Istanbul helping others make the crossing to

Greece – a perilous line of work, but no less so than what he would face if the

truth of his sexuality were discovered by ISIS.
