Captain Jim Stringer, invalided from the Western Front, has been dispatched to investigate what looks like a nasty case of treason. He arrives to find a city on the point of insurrection, his cover apparently blown, and his only contact lying dead with flies in his eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Baghdad swelters in a particularly torrid summer, the heat alone threatens the lives of the British soldiers who occupy the city. The recently ejected Turks are still a danger, and many of the local Arabs are none too friendly either. For Jim, who is not particularly good in warm weather, the situation grows pricklier by the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAside from his investigation, he is working on the railways around the city. His boss is the charming, enigmatic Lieutenant-Colonel Shepherd, who presides over the gracious dining society called The Baghdad Railway Club, and who may or may not be a Turkish agent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJim's search for the truth brings him up against murderous violence in a heat-dazed, labyrinthine city where an enemy awaits around every corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072682574060,"sku":"9780571249657","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10172683482391.jpg?v=1765126011"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/series-jim-stringer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
