CHAPTER 46
With Anna already asleep, I phoned yet Colin again.
"Firstly, Colin, you can expect an invoice from Jimmy. He's done brilliantly. Secondly, can you check another name for me? Clive in Cyprus might help you on this one if you need a lead. There is, or was, a small pharmaceutical manufacturer in Beirut - a French owned company - they lost their French production engineer last year. Can you put a name to him? Better still, can you get a photo?
"Thirdly, have you had any contact with Nagi in Cairo recently?"
There was a noticeable delay from the other side.
"Is that it? I was waiting for a fourth. Answers as follows: Jimmy - yes, OK, but I won't hold my breath - for a supposed accountant he really needs to speed up his own invoicing. The missing French chap - I can ask Simone in Paris about that. As far as Nagi is concerned I haven't heard from him for a while but that doesn't mean he's not operating. For good reasons at present he doesn't like reminders about his old life with the Egyptian Security Forces.
