Product Description

Product Description

Cairo, June 1942. A city blistering under the lash of a relentless summer and panicked by the implacable advance of Hitler's most talented general, Erwin Rommel. It is the worst possible time and place for the body of a senior British officer to be found in a rubbish bin, bathed in blood. His murder has been made to look like a political assassination by local extremists opposed to British rule, but former New York cop Joe Quinn isn't buying that. He senses more fundamental human emotions at play. For Quinn, it's like old times, a reminder of his past. One he doesn't want to revisit. Thrown out of the New York Police Department as a liability after the tragic death of his son, he probably shouldn't be a cop any longer, but maybe he's just what this case needs. The investigation leads him through the underbelly of an exotic, violent and seedy city to the heart of the Cairo's high command and the possibility that a highly placed spy is feeding the allies' most sensitive secrets to Rommel, waiting out in the desert. Only one woman has seen the killer - an American named Amy White. The trouble is Joe Quinn's already falling for her and if he doesn't stop the spy soon, then not just Amy


From the Back Cover

Cairo, June 1942. A city blistering under the lash of a relentless summer and panicked by the implacable advance of Hitler's most talented general, Erwin Rommel. It is the worst possible time and place for the body of a senior British officer to be found in a rubbish bin, bathed in blood.

His murder has been made to look like a political assassination by local extremists opposed to British rule, but former New York cop Joe Quinn isn’t buying that. He senses more fundamental human emotions at play. For Quinn, it’s like old times, a reminder of his past. One he doesn’t want to revisit. Thrown out of the New York Police Department as a liability after the tragic death of his son, he probably shouldn’t be a cop any longer, but maybe he’s just what this case needs.

The investigation leads him through the underbelly of an exotic, violent and seedy city to the heart of the Cairo’s high command and the possibility that a highly placed spy is feeding the allies’ most sensitive secrets to Rommel, waiting out in the desert.

Only one woman has seen the killer - an American named Amy White. The trouble is Joe Quinn's already falling for her and if he doesn't stop the spy soon, then not just Amy, but everything else he holds dear is certain to be brutally eliminated ...

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs a new editor, 1 Mar 2005
By Sandra Olsen (Anaheim, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Bradby is excellent at evoking the the period in which his stories take place. He also does an excellent job of character development. This book is no exception but it is rather easy to spot who will turn out to be the villain early on--and the reason for the treachery is a bit weak.

However, my main complaint is that there are several errors pertaining to the time era. The most blatant of these involves the king of Egypt driving a Corvette in 1942--even a king would find it hard to buy a car 12 years before it went into production. Also, I doubt that the term "hit on" was used to describe a seduction in 1942 nor did women exercise to be lean.

Tom Bradby is such a fine writer that I can only assume that he is too young to have realized these mistakes. Therefore his editors have done him a great diservice.
