'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 Forsyth Small-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.
