'A superb example of Deighton's craft' Robert Harris January 1942.
Rommel's troops are at the gates of Egypt, soon to threaten Cairo
itself. A spy has been leaking British secrets to the German
commander, and Captain Albert Cutler has been sent to find them
amongst the city's teeming streets and bazaars, before it is too
late. But Cutler is not quite what he seems, and Cairo is a city of
fool's gold, where nothing can be taken at face value. 'The pace of
the story is compulsive ... it is a real pleasure to be swallowed
up in Deighton's descriptions of wartime Cairo' Daily Telegraph 'A
novel reminiscent in spirit to Casablanca. Play it again, Len'

are Jewish.
But everything changes when the German army invades Przemsyl. The
Diamants are forced into the ghetto, and Stefania is alone in an
occupied city, the only one left to care for her six-year-old sister.
And then comes the knock at the door. Max Diamant has jumped from the
