An absolutely stunning script with a terrific twist at the end. Inspector Chafik surely deserves to be better known - there should be a TV series with a reanimated Peter Lorre in the lead perhaps.
Beautiful artwork from Oliver and (I speak as someone who has worked in the Middle East) an insightful feel of local culture from the writer whoever he was.
I've always loved the idea that you don't die but you pass to a new realm and walk in shadows.

Claude Vernon Frost, author of the Inspector Chafik short stories, had been an intelligence agent in the Middle East. He drew on his experiences for his fiction. The blurb for a recent collection of Chafik stories says:
As a Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Air Force he worked with Military Intelligence in Iraq during the Second World War. Child wrote that Inspector Chafik was a composite of associates whom he met in the Middle East, whose "agile minds" could "wind through a complicated maze."

Chafik's philosophy is admirable - when life becomes exasperating, have cake! And make it a double!
