When a mysterious woman arrives at Rocky Jordan's office in Cairo with a fortune in jewels and a target on her back, our hero finds himself entangled in a web of international intrigue that stretches from the mosques of Istanbul to the shadowy back alleys of the Middle East. Is she a refugee fleeing persecution, a con artist running an elaborate scheme, or something far more dangerous? As Rocky digs deeper, he discovers that the lady's past is as murky as the Nile at midnight, and everyone from black market dealers to foreign intelligence agencies seems desperate to find her first. With his trusted sidekick Salty at his side and the ever-helpful Cairo police commissioner in his corner, Rocky must navigate treacherous double-crosses and unexpected betrayals to stay one step ahead of those who would kill to possess what she knows.
