Edwardian Egypt and archaeology go hand in hand, not just for the antiquarian but for the men, whether poor fellahin or rich merchant, who profit from the illegal export of antiquities. Captain Gareth Owen, the Mamur Zapt or head of Cairo's Secret Police, turns his attention to the trade when Miss Skinner arrives. She's a woman with the habit of asking awkward questions. And because her uncle might be the next President of the United States, her queries demand answers. So what is she doing looking at crocodiles? And mummified ones at that? Were they priceless? Are they even antiques? Owen's new brief is to see that Egypt's priceless treasures stay in Egypt. But when Miss Skinner narrowly escapes falling under a conveyance-whether she was just accidentally nudged by a Passover sheep or not-Owen expands his command. As he labors to thwart killers and the flight of national treasures abroad, he fa-ces an even graver problem: whether to risk his career by asking the pasha's lovely daughter to marry him....
Praise for The Spoils of Egypt...
"An entertaining story, full of the ambience and mystery of old Egypt." -Booklist
Michael Pearce grew up in the (then) Anglo-Egyptian Sudan among the political and other tensions he draws on for his books. Although Egypt has evolved dramatically since Owen's career began in 1908, the charm of these Mamur Zapt novels is unabated.
