'An enthralling thriller ... hypnotically readable' ANDREW TAYLOR
In the heat of the desert, will the trail go cold?
Cairo, 1938
Archie Nevenden is many things: amateur archaeologist; theatre impresario; absent father; potential defector. And now, he's a missing person.
His daughter, Prim, hasn't seen him for nearly fifteen years. But she's never given up on him, and now she's on her way to Cairo to assist in the search.
Harry Taverner claims to work for the British Council, but Prim knows there's more to it. He clearly has a theory about what happened to Archie, one she's not going to like.
As Prim and Harry uncover the layers of Archie's existence in Cairo, they find themselves drawn in to more than one conspiracy. And soon they'll discover that Archie may not be the only one in danger...
Praise for S W Perry:
'Powerful, panoramic' Sunday Times
'Beautifully written, entirely convincing' Leonora Nattrass
'Gripping and heartfelt' Elisabeth Gifford
'Sweeping' Daily Mail
An enthralling thriller that skilfully treads the fine line between fact and fiction. Perry brilliantly recreates prewar Egypt in all its colourful and complex detail. He's a master of intoxicating narrative twists that take you where you least expect to go - usually, in this case, somewhere dangerous. The novel is both hypnotically readable and emotionally rich. A fine achievement. -- Andrew Taylor, No. 1 bestselling author of THE ASHES OF LONDON
