Elizabeth Darcy is in the world's most intriguing city to cover for old friend and fellow correspondent Peter Franklin, found dead in the Bosphorus. She's convinced it wasn't an accident. But uncovering secrets can be a dangerous business. Are spies involved? Criminals? Where does religion become politics, and vice versa? And who are those men following her? Danger stalks her through the ancient streets. Elizabeth will be lucky to return safely to Washington. Fortunately, she has her Jane Austen book and the cat Sultana to hold onto-as long as that comfort lasts.
"When journalist Elizabeth Darcy travels to Istanbul to investigate the death of a friend and colleague, she is quickly immersed in a Byzantine world of secrets and deception. Peggy Hanson's evocative description of this city of minarets and sultan's palaces is as vibrant and rich as a multi-colored Turkish carpet." - Ellen Crosby, author of Multiple Exposure
"Deadline Istanbul introduces a smart, determined new detective, a newspaper reporter with a can-do spirit and a sense of humor. Istanbul itself, ancient and modern, filled with its own mysteries and contradictions, comes to life in Peggy Hanson's admirable novel. Well done!" - Anne Hillerman, author of Spider Woman's Daughter, a Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee mystery
"Hanson has plenty of experience living in exotic places, and is an excellent writer and storyteller; not only do her characters come alive, but also the country and its culture. This book is highly recommended for suspense/thriller readers who want something different and enjoy a well-written, good story." -- BellaOnline: The Voice of Women
"Peggy Hanson has such a way with words and descriptions that you see, smell, feel the city. She paints a picture so vivid you are there with Elizabeth. You'll see the palaces in vivid word drawings that make you long to visit Istanbul! Well crafted, interesting, beautifully described with the twist of intrigue and mystery. Delightful!" -- Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine
