Nancy Drew travels to Turkey with her father, attorney Carson Drew, who plans to negotiate the sale of an ancestral estate belonging to one of his clients. When Nancy finds that mysterious artifacts have been disappearing from the estate, she turns her suspicions to Harland Severino, a rich man who desperately wants to purchase it. Nancy does some sleuthing that leads her beneath the property into an environment no one could’ve guessed what lay there: the ancient ruins of a city long forgotten by time, filled with priceless ancient artifacts that grave robbers will do anything to get at!

This review is from: Nancy Drew #17: Night of the Living Chatchke (Nancy Drew Graphic Novels (Papercutz Paperback)) (Paperback)
"Night of the Living Chatchke" is installment #17 in the latest reincarnation of Nancy Drew, girl detective. This version updates the popular series by Carolyn Keene, reimagining Nancy Drew, her best friends Bess and George, and father Carson Drew into the 21st Century in graphic novel format.
The story opens with Nancy off to exotic Istanbul, Turkey, with her father, who is there to oversee the sale of the estate of a beautiful client. The client, one Alda Oktar, is a potential love interest for the long-widowed Carson Drew, and an object of mystery for Nancy. Equally mysterious is a rather ugly statue, purchased in a bazaar and brought to Alda's house, that seems to have a personality all its own. Strange things involving the statue attract the sleuthing talents of the jet-lagged Nancy, who stumbles onto a dangerous plot. "Night of the Living Chatchke" is a clever and entertaining story. It is also the first of a two part storyline, concluding in "City Under the Basement". It is highly recommended to the latest generation of Nancy Drew fans, who might as well get both copies to have the whole story.
