This was a really good book to read, i found it hard to put down. The characters are fantasic and you find yourself typically on the side of the goodies even though you will be intrigued by Alex Wolff. The ending was a bit of a disappointment though. It is set in the war in Egypt with Rommel trying to take over Cairo. Alex Wolff is one of the main characters who is tracked through the desert seemingly unstoppable. I won't give the ending away but it's not what you expect. The book is also racy in parts with two people coming together in the end. There is a kidnapping and quite a bit of murder. A truely good book although marred slightly by the ending.

Manufacturer's product description
Set in North Africa, summer 1942, during Rommel's campaign against the British. This is the story of Alex Wolff, master spy, who treks across the Sahara and covertly enters the plot-ridden streets of wartime Cairo. And of Major Vandam, the British officer who is on Wolff's trail, sworn to destroy him. Wolff's mission is to steal British military plans and send them to Rommel, using a code whose key is buried in the pages of Daphne du Maurier's novel Rebecca. As Rommel's troops come closer to victory, Vandam edges closer to Wolff and the crucial key. There are incredible chase scenes: a motorcycle hurtling through blacked-out Cairo; the flash of a knife, a gush of hot blood, and the fleeting shadow of an escaping assassin; a harrowing race against death and a speeding train. Follett builds tension and suspense to a screaming pitch as he follows the adversaries across the internal desert to a confrontation as startling as it is explosive.
