Publisher Notes
Stumbling upon the drowned body of Nouf, the teenage daughter of a prominent, wealthy Saudi Arabian family, Nayir, a desert guide hired by her family to search for her, feels compelled to discover what really happened to her, working with Katya Hijazi, a lab technician at the coroner's office, to find out what life is really like for women in a rigidly segregated Middle Eastern society. A first novel.
Media Reviews
"As a mystery, it's fairly well-tuned, but it's the characters and setting that sparkle."
