Irwin taught Arabic and Middle eastern history at both Oxford and Cambridge, and brings his specialised knowledge to this thriller which is also an investigation into revolutionary violence and colonialism. Set in Algiers in 1959-60, the plot involves a desert intelligence officer attached to the Foreign Legion, at a time when the French settlers are engaged in a final stand against the F. L. N.
