The Last Cut Résumé

The Last Cut Michael Pearce

In this classic mystery from Michael Pearce's award-winning series, set in the Egypt of the 1900s, the Mamur Zapt investigates the discovery of a young woman's body at the site of a dam.

Cairo, 1908. When an attempt is made to blow up a key regulator in the Cairo Barrage, the Mamur Zapt, British head of Cairo's secret police, is called in to investigate.

To make matters worse, the ceremonial cutting of a dam always requires careful policing, especially on this occasion as it is going to be the Last Cut. Which means the discovery of a young woman's body at the site of the dam is extremely embarrassing. Is this the traditional ritual sacrifice? Or something more sinister?

The Last Cut Avis

`Takes apart ancient history and reassembles it with beguiling wit and colour' Sunday Times

`Marvellously convoluted... Dryly and deeply funny' Literary Review

`Urbane, intelligent and never patronising, Pearce writes about Egypt with the observant eye of the lover who sees yet forgives all faults' Val McDermid

`Irresistible fun' Time Out

`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' Sunday Telegraph
