Description

To the Germans he is known as Sphinx, and to everyone else - as the European businessman Alex Wolff. He arrives suddenly in Cairo from the desert and brings with him a radio, a twisted knife and a copy of the novel Rebecca. He is a ruthless man, with extreme convictions that he is prepared to follow at any cost. The stakes are high - the survival of British troops in North Africa and the preservation of their position in Egypt.
Only Major William Vandam and the lovely Helen can put an end to that. Wolff's brilliant espionage and the messages he sends with information about British military strategies and positions bring Romel ever closer to victory. And the closer he gets to defeating the British forces, the more Vandamm tightens the noose around the spy. All will be decided in a deadly battle in the endless desert.
