"The pace of the story is compulsive . . . it is a real pleasure to be swallowed up in Deighton's description of wartime Cairo."Daily Telegraph

January 1942. Rommel, the fabled "Desert Fox," has pushed back the British Army three hundred miles in a matter of weeks. His seemingly invincible Afrika Korps is at the gates of Egypt, soon to threaten Cairo itself. And Rommel has a spy in the city—a source so well-informed that the German commander knows in advance every movement of the Allied forces.

Among the teeming streets and bazaars, the British, led by Major Albert Cutler, must find the spy before time runs out. But Cairo is a city of fool’s gold, where nothing and nobody, not even Cutler, can be taken at face value.
