From the award-winning Michael Pearce, comes a delightful murder
mystery set in Egypt in 1908. A body is found on the tracks of a
new electric railway and the Mamur Zapt is called in to
investigate. Cairo, 1908. It's called the Tree of the Virgin, a
site of religious interest, perilously close to the construction
site of the new electric railway. Sinister power groups are
jostling for position, but who dumped the body of the humble
villager on the track? When the Mamur Zapt begins to pick his way
through the local and national power structures, he has to ask,
what is the significance of the Fig Tree? Does it matter that the
caravans for Mecca gather only a mile or so away? And what of the
ostrich that passed in the night?
