Inspector
Chafik J. Chafik of the Baghdad police was the creation of Charles B.
Child (1903-1993), the pseudonym of British author Claude Vernon Frost.
As a Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Airforce he worked with Military
Intelligence in Iraq during the Second World War. Child wrote that
Inspector Chafik was a composite of associates whom he met in the Middle
East, whose "agile minds" could "wind through a complicated maze."
Beginning in 1947, the Chafik stories were some of the most popular
features in Collier's Magazine, and many were reprinted in the annual
Best Detective Stories of the Year. The stories about Chafik, his wife
Leila, and his adopted son Faisal whom he found on the streets of
Baghdad are superlatively constructed exercises in detection, but they
have a more subtle level. They are also explorations of a culture and a
time and place. The stories begin when the British still influenced
Iraqi politics, and continue through the period of the monarchy and the
country's attempts to identify its place in the world. Many years ago,
Frederic Dannay ("Ellery Queen") lamented that there was no book
collection of the Inspector Chafik stories. We are delighted to publish
this First Edition.
