October, 1973: Egypt is bracing for war. Cairo private investigator Pierre Farag is tidying up old cases and calling in debts when he stumbles on a plot to murder the notorious film star Zouzou Paris, his childhood sweetheart. At the same time, former British intelligence agents Mark Bellamy and Lucy Vickers are recalled to duty in Cairo to arrange the defection of a Soviet diplomat. As the outbreak of war approaches, Pierre, Lucy, Zouzou and Mark find themselves at the centre of a cynical diplomatic plot that will irrevocably change the course of their lives, and possibly the outcome of the war. Cairo Mon Amour is a gripping thriller and a poignant love story, based on the real-life deception campaign by the Egyptian intelligence services to conceal the date of the attack on Sinai. Espionage fans will be enthralled by Stuart Campbell's evocation of Cairo during the Yom Kippur War.
