5 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
Former police inspector Makana, in exile from his native Sudan, lives on a rickety Nile houseboat in Cairo, scratching out a living as a private investigator. When he receives a call from the notorious and powerful Saad Hanafi, he is thrust into a dangerous and glittering world. Hanafi is the owner of a star-studded football team and their most valuable player has vanished. His disappearance threatens to bring down not only the businessman's private empire but also the entire country. Makana encounters Muslim extremists, Russian gangsters and a desperate mother hunting for her missing daughter, as his search stirs up painful memories, leading him back into the sights of an old and dangerous enemy...

This was slower and less focused on the mystery aspect than I expected. However, I really enjoyed the characters, the setting (in Cairo and briefly in Khartoum), and the ending in particular. I had already figured out one character's obvious backstory before it was revealed, but that didn't bother me. Looking forward to the next book in the series. #LitsyAtoZ #diversebooks

My library's copy of this is missing and I have started so many books lately that I forced myself not to get any new ones. Seemed like a good idea until I went to the grocery store and had no will power left. This is one box of several. Oh well 🙄😂

minkyb Yummmy... 9y
Smrloomis @minkyb they're delicious! 😛 9y
