Istanbul, circa 1920.
The Great War is over. The Twenties are roaring. For Eve Tozer, who has money, looks, long legs and a small army of ardent admirers, life is one long party. Then a dapper little man survives a murder attempt to bring her disturbing news. Eve’s father, an eccentric Inventor who vanished five years before, is about to be declared legally dead. Unless she can find him in twelve days, his fortune will revert to his scheming business partner. And Eve will be penniless. When last seen, Bradley Tozer was the „guest” of primitive Waziri tribesmen in Afghanistan. The only way to get there is by plane. And the only available planes are the property of one Patrick O’Malley, a down-and-out ex-air ace with a fondness for other men’s wives matched only by his contempt for the idle rich. The search is on.
