Sophie Kohl is living her worst nightmare. Minutes after she
confesses to her husband, a mid-level diplomat at the American
embassy in Hungary, that she had an affair while they were in
Cairo, he is shot in the head and killed.
Stan Bertolli, a Cairo-based CIA agent, has fielded his share of
midnight calls. But his heart skips a beat when he hears the voice
of the only woman he ever truly loved, calling to ask why her
husband has been assassinated.
Omar Halawi has worked in Egyptian intelligence for years, and he
knows how to play the game. Foreign agents pass him occasional
information, he returns the favor, and everyone's happy. But the
murder of a diplomat in Hungary has ripples all the way to Cairo,
and Omar must follow the fall-out wherever it leads.
American analyst Jibril Aziz knows more about Stumbler, a covert
operation rejected by the CIA, than anyone. So when it appears
someone else has obtained a copy of the blueprints, Jibril alone
knows the danger it represents.
As these players converge in Cairo in "The Cairo Affair," Olen
Steinhauer's masterful manipulations slowly unveil a portrait of a
marriage, a jigsaw puzzle of loyalty and betrayal, against a
dangerous world of political games where allegiances are never
clear and outcomes are never guaranteed.
