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 it is hard to determine just who is German. And then there's the face in the cemetery. A cat cemetery, at that. Who disturbed the mummified remains by placingt a human corpse amongst them? Is the villagers' talk of a mysterious Cat Woman mere superstitious nonsense, or something rather sinister?
Michael Pearce was raised in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, where his fascination for language began. He later trained as a Russian interpreter but moved away from languages to follow an academic career, first as a lecturer in English and the History of Ideas, and then as an administrator. Michael Pearce now lives in London and is best known as the author of the award-winning Mamur Zapt books.
