Mamur Zapt
Template:Short description The Mamur Zapt is the protagonist of an award-winning series of historical fiction police procedurals, written by Sudanese-born British novelist Michael Pearce. The novels are set in Cairo at the turn of the twentieth century. Egypt was ruled notionally by a khedive but the British administered the country at the time. Rather than being a specific person, "Mamur Zapt" was the official title of the head of the Cairo secret police.[1][2] Pearce filled this role with Gareth Cadwallader Owen, a Welsh army captain.[3]
The first in the series, The Mamur Zapt and the Return of the Carpet, was published in 1988.[4]
As of 2016, there are 19 novels in the Mamur Zapt series.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
