Suspicion and hostility run as deep as ever between the Jews and Arabs in Jerusalem. But the two populations have developed a working coexistence that has been one of the small comforts of the Arab-Israeli deadlock.

Disguised as an Arab beggar, Enderby plans a real crime--the murder of Rawliffe, a fellow poet who has stolen the plot of Enderby's magnum opus and made a movie from it. But the dying Rawcliffe's pure cynicism is so eminently pitiable that Enderby instead becomes a fast friend, and as if this...
