'He took the spy thriller out of the gentility of the drawing room and into the back streets of Istanbul,where it all really happened'Frederick ForsythSmall-time hustler Arthur Abdel Simpson ekes out a living in Athens by robbing gullible tourists. But when an attempted theft backfires,he finds himself out-smarted and blackmailed into driving a highly suspicious car across the border to Istanbul. Then the Turkish secret police get involved,and Simpson becomes embroiled in something far deeper,and more dangerous,than he could imagine. Featuring a heart-stopping jewel heist,this compulsive,morally complex thriller became the basis for the classic film Topkapi.
