About

Caught in the middle of an Arab civil war, Drum looks for a missing surgeon Chester Drum knows it's over for Qasr Tabuk when he sees the city's prostitutes taking flight. He came to this war-torn Arab country in search of an American surgeon, Turner Capeheart, who disappeared when the rebels took up arms. His search turned up nothing, and now that the working girls are leaving, he decides to do the same. Death is coming to Qasr Tabuk, and though Drum may evade it for now, it will haunt him as long as he remains in this blighted desert land.   On the road out of town, he offers a lift to a girl whose car has broken down. She is Samia Falcon, daughter of the rebel leader, and she knows where Dr. Capeheart is hiding. An army stands between them and the rebels, but Chester Drum doesn't mind being outnumbered.

The Independent
"Sinister villains, harsh action, and the always satisfactory crisp, fast Marlovian telling."
The New York Times Book Review
"Often brash and violent . . . with an impish sense of humor."
