Captain Jim Stringer, invalided from the Western Front,  has been dispatched to investigate what looks like a nasty case of  treason. He arrives to find a city on the point of insurrection, his  cover apparently blown - and his only contact lying dead with flies in  his eyes. As Baghdad swelters in a particularly torrid summer,  the heat alone threatens the lives of the British soldiers who occupy  the city. The recently ejected Turks are still a danger - and many of  the local Arabs are none too friendly either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Jim, who is not  particularly good in warm weather, the situation grows pricklier by the  day. Aside from his investigation, he is working on the railways around  the city. His boss is the charming, enigmatic Lieutenant-Colonel  Shepherd, who presides over the gracious dining society called The  Baghdad Railway Club - and who may or may not be a Turkish agent. Jim''s  search for the truth brings him up against murderous violence in a  heat-dazed, labyrinthine city where an enemy awaits around every corner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57318868287870,"sku":"NW9780571249657","price":9.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780571249657.jpg?v=1778726167","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/baghdad-railway-club","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
