"An entertaining story in which the author has cleverly woven a mystery into the background of the city, bringing it and its varied population to noisy life"
SUSANNA YAGER, 'Sunday Telegraph'
Everything in Egypt depends on the waters of the Nile. So when an attempt is made to blow up a key regulator in the Cairo Barrage, Gareth Owen ¿ the Mamur Zapt, Chief of Cairo's Secret Police ¿ is hurriedly called in. What is a regulator, though? Owen doesn't know. But then, there are many things he doesn't know. Who is the Lizard Man, for example, and why does he appear to have a grudge against Egypt's irrigation system?
Quite unconnected ¿ or is it? ¿ is the ceremonial cutting of a dam which allows water to flow through the city. It is a ceremony which always requires careful policing, especially on this occasion as it is going to be the Last Cut. Which makes the discovery of a young woman's body at the site of the dam extremely embarrassing. Is this the traditional ritual sacrifice? Definitely not, says Owen ¿ but this could be another of the things he doesn't know¿
"Urbane, intelligent and never patronising, Pearce writes about Egypt with the observant eye of the lover who sees yet forgives all faults"
