Items related to The Face in the Cemetery
A classic murder mystery from Michael Pearce’s award-winning series, set in Egypt in the 1900s, in which the Mamur Zapt confronts the secrets of his past.
It is the beginning of the war and the Mamur Zapt, Gareth Owen, British head of Cairo’s secret police, is called in to investigate a human corpse abandoned in a cat cemetery. Is the villagers’ talk of a mysterious Cat Woman mere superstitious nonsense, or something rather sinister?
The Mamur Zapt is preoccupied with missing guns and dubious ghaffirs, but the face in the cemetery refuses to go away. And Owen comes to realise that it poses questions that are not just professional but uncomfortably personal...

Review:
Acclaim for Michael Pearce and the Mamur Zapt novels:
‘For contrast and sheer entertainment, Michael Pearce’s A Cold Touch of Ice is one of the best in his Mamur Zapt series... As always, his characters and the city itself are full of life and the dialogue... is excellent. Highly recommended’ Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph
‘Pearce takes apart ancient history and reassembles it with beguiling wit and colour’ John Coleman, Sunday Times

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Pbk Ed. It is the beginning of the war and Gareth Owen, Mamur Zapt and Head of Cairo's Secret Police, is unhappily rounding up enemy aliens. But nationality is a slippery thing in cosmopolitan Egypt. Who counts as German? And whose is the face in the cemetery? Owen would prefer to have to answer neither of these questions. He is preoccupied with missing guns (missing? in war time?) and dubious ghaffirs. Villages usually pick Dogberry-type simpletons as their watchmen. But what are these toughs doing here? And this heavily-armed, thumb-sucking girl? The face in the cemetery, though, refuses to go away, and Owen comes to realize that it poses questions that are not just professional but uncomfortably personal. Seller Inventory # 044773
