Peter Driscoll – Pangolin 1980 1st Turkish Book Turkey

Peter Driscoll – Pangolin (Şifre) – E Yayınları 1980 First Edition

Description:

This is the 1980 first Turkish edition of Pangolin (Şifre) by Peter Driscoll, published by E Yayınları. The original novel was first published in 1979 and is a fast-paced international thriller set largely in Hong Kong.

The story centers on Alan Pritchard, a disgraced and desperate former journalist who develops an audacious plan to kidnap Rodney Kiley, a senior CIA operative stationed in Southeast Asia whose code name is “Pangolin.” What begins as a seemingly carefully calculated kidnapping quickly becomes complicated by betrayal, competing interests, and the dangerous world of international intelligence.

Driscoll combines espionage, crime, kidnapping, and political intrigue with a vivid depiction of 1970s Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. The novel's tension comes not only from the kidnapping itself but also from the increasingly unpredictable actions of the people involved.

For collectors, this first Turkish edition is an interesting vintage example of international thriller fiction published in Turkey during the 1980s and an early Turkish edition of one of Peter Driscoll's notable suspense novels.
