A sort of Inspector Chafik origin story. The lead story tells how the Chafiks adopted their son, Faisal. Great Lacey artwork, though I'm partial to Jim Holdaway's take on the character.

First of all, my sincere thanks to whoever it was recommended the Mamur Zapt mysteries (Michael Pearce) to me (was that Paw?). I’ve read two so far and loved them – there are similarities to Inspector Chafik – mid-east location, for example, though set in an earlier period. I can’t believe I hadn’t discovered them earlier.
Always a pleasure to read Chafik – his personality shines through. What a magnificent cover on this one and a truly beguiling first story – marvellous line work as always in SPL, embedded in realistic settings – and a terrific final frame.
The second story was equally good – a complex narrative with a neat twist at the end. Good to see Leila in a larger role too.

I like Chafik a lot. This title doesn't make much sense though...every mystery he faces is in Baghdad!
