Murder in Cairo
Biteback Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-78590-702-9 (ISBN)
On a warm night in December 1977,
David Holden, chief foreign correspondent for the Sunday Times, landed
in Cairo to report on crucial peace talks between Egypt and Israel, an epochal
moment in global politics. Shortly after dawn, his body was found dumped on a
dusty roadside. He had been shot with a single bullet through the heart.
Who killed Holden and why? These
were the questions pursued for a year by the newspaper's Insight team, overseen
by legendary editor Harold Evans. Before he died in 2020, Evans said that their
failure to solve the case was the biggest regret of his long career.
Now, a member of the original
Insight team has joined forces with a young investigative journalist from
today's Sunday Times to resume the quest. Their search leads them into a
world of intrigue and betrayal, exposing the fatal crossovers between
journalism and spying.
Meticulously researched and
grippingly told, Murder in Cairo reveals the truth of one of the most
enigmatic cold case mysteries of the past fifty years.
