January 1942. Rommel's seemingly invincible Afrika Korps is at the gates of Egypt - perhaps soon to threaten Cairo itself.

Praise for City of Gold

A superb example of Deighton's craft.

Robert Harris, Sunday Times

The hallmarks of a Deighton novel are an intricate plot, an easy grasp of detail and a total mastery of storytelling technique.

Sunday Times

The pace of the story is compulsive ... it is a real pleasure to be swallowed up in Deighton's description of wartime Cairo.

Daily Telegraph

A master of fictional espionage.
