Debate Questions For Egyptian Spy:
On December 7 we will have a debate for Egyptian Spy.
1)What does the legend of the Sphinx have to do with this novel?
2)Analyze the book cover. What is going on in the picture?
3)Does the novel say anything about the British experience in Egypt?
4)Who is more clever Hitler between the wars or the Sphinx?
Dora, Lady Ware, her husband, Colonel Sir Edward Ware, his boss, Wickie, and Wickie’s wife, Jane, all travel to the Sphinx outside Cairo for the Christmas holidays when Edward’s mother, the Dowager Lady Ware, comes to visit in the 1930’s between the wars.
There are mystery figures hanging about even on top of the Sphinx and Dora cannot quite make them out. When she is left alone for a moment, a stalker approaches her and threatens her if she does not hand over the military maps that they want.
She flees and the stalker chases her. She finds herself on top of the Sphinx with a spitting cobra, only to be saved by Leopold, a young man who has befriended her.
But he is suddenly gunned down. But whom? And who is Leopold? Dora had better find out or she could soon be dead, too, in Egyptian Spy, a new thriller by Dora Benley.
