Perfidious Albion - a Nat Frayne mystery

Dismissed from the London police, Nat Frayne finds himself unexpectedly recruited by the Foreign Office to act as bodyguard for an aging diplomat. The mission: to deliver a supposedly vital letter to the head of the Egyptian government. But Frayne finds the mission growing right dodgy when he recognizes the man in charge as an old and bitter enemy. Soon cloak and dagger vie in a bloody and intricate dance amid the twisting, sun-baked streets of Alexandria.
Set amid the steambath politics of late-19th century Egypt, Perfidious Albion will drive Nat Frayne and its other actors right to the depths of their spirits. And surprise them with what they find there.
