Raya

Sally Tepper Mysteries #3

by Frank King

Cairo. A city perpetually "in the shadow of the noose," where the one unforgivable sin is love, and the way of life is betrayal. It is here that Intelligence officer David Chalfin is looking for a Raya. She is the one Woman who can get close enough to Nazi sympathizer Quinton to steal the codebook. She can do it because Raya Fahmi is a whore. She will do it because she is a Jew. But somehow everyone is neglecting the only crucial piece of intelligence. Raya Fahmi is, before all, a woman. And David Chalfin is, Before all, a man.

This exposed a very seedy side to life in 1942 Egypt. A lot of unnecessary stuff and a wierd ending make not great reading. I don't recommend this to anyone looking to come away from a book with some solid informtion.

Thought this was a very interesting take on life in Egypt during the War. How the human mind works in mysterious ways??? Makes me wonder if it was based on a true story. Overall a good read.
