Michael Pearce writes an excellent and droll story no matter the book. It is impossible to review the books individually as the Mamur Zapt series is one long recounting of adventures and personal vignettes in a time period long gone and far away. Egypt during the british "occupation" (since that is what it really was, invited or not) and in the very early 1900s. Pearce has a gentle feel for the people of the country as well as for the British, and he writes with a humor and kindness for people in the circumstances they find themselves caught up in. I heartily recommend the entire series. In fact within my library are three different series written by Michael Pearce, all of which I heartily recommend. :) ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Winner of the CWA Last Laugh Award, an irresistible historical mystery in which the Mamur Zapt investigates the illegal trade of antiquities in the Cairo of the 1900s. Cairo, 1908. Captain Gareth Owen, the Mamur Zapt or head of Cairo's Secret Police, turns his attention to the illegal trade of antiquities when Miss Skinner arrives. She's a woman with the habit of asking awkward questions. But what is she doing looking for crocodiles? And mummified ones at that? Owen's new brief is to see that Egypt's priceless treasures stay in Egypt. But when Miss Skinner narrowly escapes falling under a conveyance, Owen must labour to thwart killers and face an even graver problem: whether to ask the pasha's lovely daughter to marry him....
