About the book
The crime: one scalding afternoon, the mutilated body of a young woman, half naked beneath her burqa, is discovered on a saudi beach; soon afterwards a western woman s husband vanishes without trace. The place: jeddah, saudi arabia, the city of veils. A city of narrow streets and closed shutters, where nothing is what it seems;and the empty quarter - one of the most beautiful, yet unforgiving deserts on earth. The people: miriam walker, alone in an alien culture, desperate to find her missing husband. Katya, a forensic scientist battling the prejudices of a society full of sexual, religious and moral contradictions; and nayir, devout muslim, desert guide, amateur sleuth - the man she loves.
