Extreme Nationalists are fighting to relinquish the British government's power in Egypt. Secret agent Henderson, deployed to Egypt to assess the trouble, sends a coded message to say he's on the trail of something big. But there's been no word since.

James Bond may find he has a worthy rival' Daily Mail 'A treat for fans of classic espionage fiction ... finely crafted potted period thrillers' Good Book Guide 'Without Alexander Wilson, there is no James Bond, there is no Bourne, there is no George Smiley. Unmissable' Tony Parsons
