Five Graves to Cairo

A British soldier, stranded in North Africa, assumes a new identity as a waiter at Rommel's headquarters, initially plotting to assassinate the German general, only to stumble upon a more substantial opportunity.

In June 1942, a lone British corporal, John Bramble, takes refuge at a remote desert hotel on the Egyptian border, only to discover it's about to become the German HQ. To survive, Bramble assumes a new identity, but it proves perilous as he soon finds himself in the presence of none other than Rommel, who hints at his secret strategy, code-named 'five graves'. The fate of the British in Egypt hangs in the balance as Bramble must navigate the treacherous situation to uncover the truth.
