The Light of Day

The Light of Day

The Light of Day was the basis for Jules Dassinâ€™s classic film, Topkapi.

When Arthur Abdel Simpson first spots Harper in the Athens airport, he recognizes him as a tourist unfamiliar with city and in need of a private driver. In other words, the perfect mark for Simpsonâ€™s brand of entrepreneurship. But Harper proves to be more the spider than the fly when he catches Simpson riffling his wallet for travelerâ€™s checks. Soon Simpson finds himself blackmailed into driving a suspicious car across the Turkish border. Then, when he is caught again, this time by the police, he faces a choice: cooperate with the Turks and spy on his erstwhile colleagues or end up in one of Turkeyâ€™s notorious prisons. The authorities suspect an attempted coup, but Harper and his gang of international jewel thieves have planned something both less sinister and much, much more audacious.
