A moral thriller set in Egypt circa 1937 in which an un-named, Australian narrator reveals a youthful experience. Then enroute to England to study law, the narrator finds himself sailing the Suez Canal. The battered old ship is inexplicably detained, and all passengers are quarantined in an isolated, decrepit hotel. Then begins a "faszad", an Egyptian word connoting "dirty business" covering the trivial to the disastrous. This faszad proves deadly. An eye-witness account by the narrator, imprisoned in a web of his own passivity and jealously, is unable to prevent the ensuing violence. First novel from the Honourable Justice Nicholas Paul Hasluck (1942 - ), Australian novelist, poet and short story writer, and judge. Seller Inventory # 001576
