About this title

From the Inside Flap:

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?
