To find a vintage friend, a past-his-prime spy steps into a war zone. When Henry Edwards recruited him to work as an intelligence officer, Peter Marlow was young enough that espionage seemed romantic. These were in Cairo during the Suez Crisis, two young spies haunting dinner parties and back alleys searching for morsels of information which were not as important as they seemed. Ten years later, espionage has lost its sheen, and Henry confesses to Peter that he's considering resignation. A couple of days later, he's gone. Is Henry dead, or is he likely to defect? In any event, the service wants him buried. Peter is sent to Cairo searching for his old friend. But as war looms over Israel and the Arab states, and President Nasser's life comes under threat, Peter's task becomes more difficult than he'd like. Espionage is a man's game, and more than ever before, he feels near to the grave. The Private Sector is the first in the Peter Marlow Mystery series, which also includes The Sixth Directorate and The Valley of the Fox.
