Al Maktab Raqam 19 () ("Office Number 19") is a series of novels by Sherif Shawki. It tells the story of a fictional department, called the "Special Operations Department," or "Al Maktab Raqam 19," meaning "Office Number 19." The author writes that the members of this office have obtained the highest level of training that any officer of the police, army, or intelligence anywhere in the world can receive. Among these is the narrator and hero of the series, Mamdouh 'abd al-Wahab. The head of the department is Major General Marad Hamdi, a man well-known  for his firmness and determination. The first stories in the series were published in 1984 along with two other series, Ragol Al Mostaheel “The Man of the Impossible” and Malaf Al Mostakbal “The File of the Future”. Shawki wrote the first story under the title, "Al Infigar Al Maghool," or, "The Unknown Explosion," the plot of which focuses on the aftermath of mysterious explosions.
