Unexpected violence throttles Cairo's bustling bazaars. When Mamur Zapt, the head of Cairo's Secret Police, is stalked and attacked by two shadowy men, he takes action. The most satisfying entry yet in this attractive (and critically acclaimed) series.--Kirkus Reviews.
Gentle, droll, English humor at its best. These stories combine the murder mystery with the politics and culture of Colonial life and the Middle Eastern mystique in cosmopolitan turn-of-the-century Cairo. These books can't be allowed to disappear off the shelves.
