One of the first novels by Phyllis A Whitney, a suspense thriller.
back cover - when Anabel Radburn placed a desperate overseas phone call to her sister Tracy saying she was in great danger, Tracy chalked it up to Anabel's dramatic flair. Until the next day when Anabel's body is pulled from the Bosporus in Istanbul. Racked with guilt for not responding immediately, Tracy travels to Turkey where she keeps her identity secret while trying to piece together the broken threads of Anabel's life.
Depsite what Anabel's husband says, Tracy is convinced that her sister did not commit suicide. As she searches for clues in Anabel's waterfront villa, Tracy finds mystery and danger around every corner. Alone in a far-off country, Tracy must act quickly if she wants to live long enough to avenge Anabel's death.

I am a huge fan of Gothics. This is written by a wonderful author. Whitney keeps you interrested.
When Tracy Hubbard arrived in Istanbul she thought no one knew of her connection with the beautiful Anabel Radburn who had died so mysteriously a few months before.
But she was wrong.
Someone in that crumbling, exotic villa on the Bosporus where Anabel lived had discovered the American girl's secret.
Now Tracy's own life was in danger, and there was no one she could trust. Alone in this ancient land of mosques and minarets, surrounded by strangers and shadows, Tracy began to piece together the broken threads of Anabel Radburn's life... and found that she had plunged headlong into a whirlpool of conspiracy and terror from which there was no escape.
