Raya — Frank King

Cairo. A city perpetually "in the shadow of the noose," where the one unforgivable sin is love, and the way of life is betrayal. It is here that Intelligence officer David Chalfin is looking for a woman: Raya. She is the one Woman who can get close enough to Nazi sympathizer Quinton to steal the codebook. She can do it because Raya Fahmi is a whore. She will do it because she is a Jew. But somehow everyone is neglecting the only crucial piece of intelligence. Raya Fahmi is, before all, a woman. And David Chalfin is, Before all, a man.
