THE CAIRO AFFAIR.

New York:: St Martin's Minotaur, , (2014). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Very good in very good dust jacket.. First printing. A stand-alone novel of international espionage and intrigue by the author of The Tourist series. One review noted that this used recent world events - "a Wikileaks transcript, GaddafiÕs overthrow, the Arab Spring. More than an espionage thriller, this is a complicated geo-political story and, at its core, the story of a flawed marriage, full of betrayals and dangerous lies. . . It is a complex narrative, entwining the stories of multiple characters - primarily a disloyal wife, her ex-lover, an Egyptian intelligence agent, and a CIA analyst. From Hungary to Libya, Yugoslavia to Egypt, featuring spooks named Rainman, Stumbler, and Sledgehammer, the puzzle pieces come together in a moody, low-tech, and unpredictable reveal." SIGNED on the title page. 408 pp.
