A highly exciting adventure story featuring James Schuyler Grim,
better known as Jimgrim. Jimgrim is an American secret service
agent employed by the British and stationed in Jerusalem. With him
are his faithful sikh shadow, Narayan Singh, as well as Ramsden, an
American, and Jeremy Ross, an ex-soldier of the Australian forces,
both eager for a fight of any kind. This opportunity soon presents
itself, as the ambitions of the French in Syria arouse the enmity
of King Feisal of the Arabs. For his aid in WWI, the Allies
promised Feisal the kingship of Syria, Palestine, and
Trans-Jordania. This promise they have not kept, however, and the
French are out to discredit or kill the Arab chieftain. To further
their ends, an order is forged, ostensibly from Feisal to his Arab
adherents, which calls for a massacre of the Jews in Jerusalem.
When this message is intercepted, Jimgrim swings into action.
With Ramsden and Ross as volunteers, he matches wits and weapons
with the powerful plotters who are financed by the French. With a
considerable amount of little-known historical truth worked into
the background, Affair in Araby is one of the most colorful,
fast-moving, and exciting of Talbot Mundy's "Jimgrim" stories.
