English Summary/英文概要： Cairo, June 1942. A city blistering under the lash of a relentless summer and panicked by the implacable advance of Hitler’s most talented general, Erwin Rommel. It is the worst possible time and place for the body of a senior British officer to be found in a rubbish bin, bathed in blood. His murder has been made to look like a political assassination by local extremists opposed to British rule, but former New York cop Joe Quinn isn’t buying that. He senses more fundamental human emotions at play. For Quinn, it’s like old times, a reminder of his past. One he doesn’t want to revisit. Thrown out of the New York Police Department as a liability after the tragic death of his son, he probably shouldn’t be a cop any longer, but maybe he’s just what this case needs. The investigation leads him through the underbelly of an exotic, violent and seedy city to the heart of the Cairo’s high command and the possibility that a highly placed spy is feeding the allies’ most sensitive secrets to Rommel, waiting out in the desert. Only one woman has seen the killer - an American named Amy White. The trouble is Joe Quinn’s already falling for her and if he doesn’t stop the spy soon, then not just Amy, but everything else he holds dear is certain to be brutally eliminated ...
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1942年六月，开罗酷热难挡，整个城市处在恐慌中，希特勒的爱将隆美儿势不可挡，正向这里逼近。所以当英国的一位高级军官被发现惨死在开罗时，这的确是够糟糕了。
而他的死显然已被人动过手脚，故意做得像是一场由反对英国殖民统治的地方极端分子策划的政治性刺杀行动，但是前任纽约警察Joe Quinn却并不相信这一点。他觉察到其中蕴涵着更本质的人性情感。对于Quinn警官来说，这件事让他回想起了不堪回首的过去。早就被剔除出纽约警察局的Quinn兴许再也做不了警察了，但是这个案子恰恰就要他来插手。
随着调查步步深入，Quinn渗透到了这个极具奇异风味、充满暴力肮脏的开罗市的软肋，最后来到了开罗最高统帅的腹地，也让他了解到了一位巧妙伪装的间谍正把盟军的机密透露给枕戈待发的沙漠之狐。但是正当故事越来越紧张的时候，Quinn却犯起了迷糊，他不知道这样的恐怖谋杀到底是政治阴谋呢，还只是由扭曲了的性关系导致。
