Reissued with a striking cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.

Setting and Plot

Baghdad is the chosen location for a secret summit of superpowers, concerned but not convinced, about the development of an, as yet, unidentified and undescribed secret weapon.

Only one man has the proof that can confirm the nature of this fantastic secret weapon – a British agent named Carmichael. Unfortunately, the criminal organisation responsible for the weapon’s development will stop at nothing to prevent him entering Baghdad and presenting his proof to the assembled delegates.

Can Carmichael enter the city against such odds?

Introduction of Victoria Jones

Now, if only she could make sense of his last words ‘…Lucifer…Basrah…Lefarge…’
