The outbreak of war in Europe casts ripples that can be   felt even in Cairo. Gareth Owen, Mamur Zapt and Head of the Khedive’s Secret   Police, is given the unhappy task of rounding up enemy aliens. But in a land   where the adoption of foreign nationality is a popular means of avoiding trial   by an Egyptian court, determining who counts as a German proves   contentious.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoBodyText\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 6pt\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003eAnd then there’s the face in the cemetery. A cat cemetery, at that.   Who disturbed the mummified remains by placing a human corpse amongst then? Is   the villagers’ talk of a mysterious Cat Woman mere superstitious nonsense, or   something rather sinister?\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoBodyText\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 6pt\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003eOwen would prefer to leave these matters in other hands. He has a   more pressing concern in the shape of missing rifles (missing? in war time?) and   dubious gun-toting ghaffirs. Villages usually, elect the local idiot as their   ghaffir or watchman (who else would want to take on the brigands?), so what are   these toughs doing here? Not to mention a heavily armed, thumb-sucking girl. The   face in the cemetery, though, refuses to go away, and Owen comes to realize that   it poses questions that are not just professional but uncomfortably   personal.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoBodyText\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 6pt\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003eThis is the 14\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e book in the popular series published by   Poisoned Pen Press.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout   the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003eMichael   Pearce grew up in the (then) Anglo-Egyptian Sudan among the political and other   tensions he draws on for his books. He returned there later to teach and retains   a human rights interest in the area. His career has followed the standard   academic rake’s progress from teaching to writing to administration. He finds   international politics a pallid imitation of academic   ones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poisoned Pen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049201549552,"sku":"9781590582961","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590582961_p0.jpg?v=1763804026","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590582961","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
