Sax Rohmer introduces Major Baruk,the Anglo-Arab soldier detective whose exploits are already popular in America amongst the several million readers of "Collier's". In 'Egyptian Nights' we meet characters which range from a Devon lady chicken farmer to Pool-o'-the-Moon, beautiful daughter of a wealthy sheikh; Lady Avalon Westry,the stainless blonde; Colonel Roden-Pyne of Cairo Intelligence; and that bloodthirsty mystery-man - the Scorpion of Kashan.Bimbashi Baruk's investigations lead him from the Surrey countryside to Syrian desert,from an Afghan frontier town to Libya.Tireless, and employing a novel routine,the bimbashi uses his keen brain and unfailing charm of manner to solve some of the most baffling problems which have ever confronted an investigator.
Egyptian Nights has appeared serially in parts in Collier's Weekly,the Illustrated London News,and Chamber's Journal, Edinburgh.Collection of short stories, here presented in the form of a novel and first published in book form, 1944. Published later in the U.S., as BIMBASHI BARUK OF EGYPT (1944).A scarce and uncommon title from this author and particularly from this period - low print runs (paper-rationing) and survival rates (air-raids) and in such reasonable condition,given it's age.
