The Face in the Cemetery Summary

The Face in the Cemetery (Mamur Zapt, Book 14) by Michael Pearce

A classic murder mystery from Michael Pearces award-winning series, set in Egypt in the 1900s, in which the Mamur Zapt confronts the secrets of his past.

It is the beginning of the war and the Mamur Zapt, Gareth Owen, British head of Cairos secret police, is called in to investigate a human corpse abandoned in a cat cemetery. Is the villagers talk of a mysterious Cat Woman mere superstitious nonsense, or something rather sinister?

The Mamur Zapt is preoccupied with missing guns and dubious ghaffirs, but the face in the cemetery refuses to go away. And Owen comes to realise that it poses questions that are not just professional but uncomfortably personal

Probably the best in a consistently entertaining series Literary Review

Highly recommended Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph

Pearce takes apart ancient history and reassembles it with beguiling wit and colour Sunday Times

Marvellously convoluted Dryly and deeply funny Literary Review

Sheer fun The Times
