English · Mystery & Thriller, Action & Adventure, Radio

Rocky Jordan is a hard-boiled adventure and mystery series centered on an American expatriate who runs the Café Tambourine in Cairo. The café draws an international mix of customers, and Rocky’s life there often brings him into contact with danger, intrigue, and people in need of help.

The radio program blends crime-solving with the atmosphere of postwar Cairo. Rocky’s work as a café owner gives him a natural vantage point on the city’s shifting cast of visitors and local characters, while his resourcefulness and willingness to get involved lead him into tense situations. The stories combine investigation and action with the distinctive setting of a bustling café.

With its worldly setting, brisk adventure, and central character caught between ordinary business and extraordinary trouble, Rocky Jordan offers a lively change of scene from more familiar American crime dramas.
