Tom is on Heathrow Airport London. Then he heard ‘British Airway announces the departure of Flight BE570 for Istanbul’. That was his flight. In the airplane he reads Angela’s letter to him. Angela was Tom’s fiancée. Next to Tom sat a man, Kemal, they talked a lot with each other. Kemal gave Tom his address. The letter from Angela says that Tom must go to Park Hotel and must go to the American Bar. Tom left with a bus. A car stopped beside the bus. Two men and a woman came out. Tom thought that it was Angela. He knocked on the door and shouted ‘Angela’. The traffic lights changed and the bus drove away. At the evening Tom went to the American Bar. The whole evening he waited for Angela but she didn’t come. On his room he called the phone number on the letter but nobody answered. Then he went to the receptionist and asks where Kamerot Sokak was. It was nearby. Tom picked up his suitcase and left the hotel. Kamerot Sokak was an old building. No lights were burning so he left. Tom goes to the Ankara Hotel. There he slept for a some nights. Tom was very tired and goes to bed. In the morning Tom goes to the grey building where he saw Angela.
He said that he was looking for Angela Thomson. The secretary phoned a man. From a door came a man, Mr Dùnja. The Tom heard the news that Angela was dead. How did it happen asked Tom? It was a car accident. Miss Thomson was driving along a dangerous road. Her car went off the road and fell down the hillside. He left Dunya and he got a paper with two telephone numbers, one of Dunya’s office and the Consulate. That day he phoned Kemal and they met, Tom told him everything, Kemal asked were he had seen Angela, they drove to the building Angela went into, in that building there was a dentist, a lawyer and a doctor, they didn’t knew which building so they went for lunch. After lunch they went to the Consulate, there he talked again and asked how they could identify the body. They couldn’t identified the body because it was burned but she had papers with her. Mr. Pennington and Tom shook hands and Tom left. Tom told Kemal that he was leaving Istanbul. Kemal said it was not the right thing to do and first he had to relax so they took an walk through an very beautiful park, suddenly Kemal said that they must walk a little faster because someone was following them. They split op and decided to phone each other that evening, Tom took a taxi to his hotel. That evening Tom waited on Kemals phone call, when the phone ringed he thougt it was Kemal but it was a woman, she said that she wanted to meet Tom, when Tom met her she said her name was Julie, she told about Angela, they met each other on a party of friends, she enjoyed work and everything but after a while Angela was acting strange, it had to do with her work, one day at lunchtime Dunya came in and Angela looked scared suddenly. Julie thinks Dunya has to do with Angela's disappearing, and then Tom told what he had seen and where, when he told that in the building there was an doctor Julie told that Angela had an virus and maybe she needed some pills again. Tom decided to search for Angela, now he was sure she was alive, Julie told him to be careful and said goodbye. Back in the hotel Tom phoned Kemal and told everything, the next day Kemal thought up a plan to get rid of the guy who was following him because they know it is a man of Dunya, Tom went to Dunya's office and said he would leave Istanbul. Tom went to the airport knowing the man was following him, he checked in and in front of the entrance of the gate to the airplane, there was a crowd and in the crowd the man lost sight of Tom and Tom hid in the toilets, after the plane left the man thought Tom left so he left, after a while Tom gets out of the toilets and went to Kemal's place, they decided to follow Dunya to his home, Tom gets a wig and a fake moustache, so Dunya can’t recognise him, when they are by Dunya’s house they left again, now they now where he lives. When they are at Kemal's place they decided that Angela worried about something about work so they must search at Dunya’s store. Kemal thought up a plan, because Dunya sells ornaments and his parents too he could sell a box full for cheap so he can get inside Dunya’s store. When Dunya was in his office at work Kemal knocked on the door and told Dunya he wanted to sell them quick because he needed the money, and when they brought the box inside the workshop Kemals brother who must call on that moment called so Kemal could see around, when Dunya was on the phone Kemal checked the store out and noticed a low wall in the courtyard, when Dunya came back he paid Kemal and Kemal left to his car where Tom was in too. They drove back and in his hotel they decided to break in the courtyard. That evening when it was dark they went to the alley where the wall was, they climbed it and saw the lights go on and sat by the window. They saw that the split the ornaments and that there were little bags of drugs in it, on that moment Tom knocked against a wooden plank on the floor and it made a lot of noise and a few seconds later they were caught. Inside the workshop was Dunya with a gun, he said Angela was in his villa as a guest. Dunya and his men took Kemal and Tom in the Mercedes and drove them to his villa, when they were at his villa he wanted to open the door but suddenly he heard a voice call, “Stop this is the police, stop or else we will shoot”. A few seconds later the door opened and Angela ran out in Toms arms, they were happy to see each other again, Tom introduced Kemal and said he helped a lot.
