4.0 out of 5 stars An ironic yet thrilling novel in former colonial Egypt, 19 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Michael Pearce is the well known author of several historic crime novels set in Egypt at the beginning of the last century. Mr. Owen, the Mamur Zapt (i.e.Chief of the Egyptian Secret Service) is an intelligent, witty investigator who always manages to get his answers while everybody else thinks he is rather clueless. This novel is as recommendable as all the other Mamur Zapt novels and consists of marvellous ironic dialogues which strongly remind the reader of Eric Ambler or Agatha Christie. Read it!
