The Mamur Zapt is the protagonist of an award-winning series of historical fiction police procedurals, written by Sudanese-born novelist Michael Pearce. The novels are set in Cairo at the turn of the twentieth century. Egypt was ruled notionally by a khedive but the British administered the country at the time. Rather than being a specific person, "Mamur Zapt" was the official title of the head of the Cairo secret police.[1][2] Pearce filled this role with Gareth Cadwallader Owen, a Welsh army captain.[3] The first in the series, The Mamur Zapt and the Return of the Carpet, was published in 1988.[4] As of 2015, there are 18 novels in the Mamur Zapt series.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} Titles in the series
