|  Agatha Christie - They Came to Baghdad  Agatha Christie They Came to Baghdad  A secret summit of superpowers is to be held in Baghdad* but it is no longer secret* and a shadowy fascist group is plotting to sabotage the event. Things get complicated when enthusiastic young tourist Victoria Jones discovers a dying secret British agent Henry "Fakir" Carmichael in her hotel room* his last words - "Lucifer...Basrah...Lefarge" - propel her into investigation. "Lucifer" refers to the mastermind* Victoria's false lover Edward* who is behind the plot. "Basrah" refers to the city where certain documents were handed to certain people. "Lefarge" turns out to actually be "Defarge" and is a reference to a Charles Dickens character; it is a clue to where the aforementioned documents can be found. An interesting comparison can be made between the romance themes of this novel and The Man in the Brown Suit* which is also primarily an adventure novel* rather than a straight whodunnit. In that book* the exciting* mysterious young man that falls into the heroine's room ends up as the romantic hero. In Baghdad* an exciting* mysterious young man also falls into the heroine's room* but he is disposed of* as is the other exciting* mysterious young man that the heroine has followed to Baghdad. A more conventional and staid archaeologist ends up as the romantic hero; Christie herself was married to archaeologist Max Mallowan by this date. :qatarw_com_52228917 Enjoy  | ||||
