On a warm night in December 1977, David Holden, chief foreign correspondent for the Sunday Times, landed in Cairo to report on crucial peace talks between Egypt and Israel, an epochalmoment in global politics. Shortly after dawn, his body was found dumped on adusty roadside. He had been shot with a single bullet through the heart. Who killed Holden and why? These were the questions pursued for a year by the newspaper's Insight team, overseenby legendary editor Harold Evans. Before he died in 2020, Evans said that their failure to solve the case was the biggest regret of his long career. Meticulously researched and grippingly told, 'Murder in Cairo' reveals the truth of one of the most enigmatic cold case mysteries of the past fifty years.
