The world is changing aroung the Mamur Zapt, British Chief of Cairo`s Secret Police. It`s 1912 and there`s a war on that no one`s heard of. When an Italian man is murdered in the city`s back streets, there is concern that this could be some kind of ethnic cleansing. "One of us" Morelli may have been, but was he "one of us" enough? And were the guns in his warehouse anything to do with it? Gareth Owen?the Mamur Zapt?has to find out fast.

And then, as external pressures crowd in, there are other difficult questions. What is Trudi von Ramsberg really doing in Cairo? Not to mention that other noted traveller, Gertrude Bell, or the irritating little archaeologist, T. E. Lawrence? And why has the post of Khedive`s Librarian suddenly become so important?

Owen is just the man to solve these problems. He is less successful, though, in his relationship with Zeinab, especially now that she`s approaching thirty.

As Cromer`s Egypt gives way to Kitchener`s Egypt, Morelli is not the only one who has problems over where his allegiance lies. Maybe the solution is for Owen to go to Zanzibar...

  • Lord Kitchener's appointment as consul-general for Egypt in 1912 portends major changes for Gareth Owen, the head of the Cairo secret police, in Michael Pearce's A Cold Touch of Ice: A Mamur Zapt Mystery, the latest standout in the long-running series. Once again, Pearce seamlessly blends a whodunit plot with a vivid portrayal of colonial Egypt. The political tensions that plague the British overseers will resonate with readers following current events in Iraq. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
