Cairo, 1938

Archie Nevenden is many things: amateur archaeologist; theatre impresario; absent father; potential defector. And now, he''s a missing person.

His daughter, Prim, hasn''t seen him for nearly fifteen years. But she''s never given up on him, and now she''s on her way to Cairo to assist in the search.

Harry Taverner claims to work for the British Council, but Prim knows there''s more to it. He clearly has a theory about what happened to Archie, one she''s not going to like.

As Prim and Harry uncover the layers of Archie''s existence in Cairo, they find themselves drawn in to more than one conspiracy. And soon they''ll discover that Archie may not be the only one in danger...
