Mystery Historical
Police Inspector Nikolai Faroun, is caught up in a complex
murder investigation of the beautiful and controversial
Vera Tamiri. He suspects that she may have fallen victim
to a grue¬some crime of passion. However, he soon realizes
that there is more to this crime than a jealous lover. In
a city seething with anger and revolt, Inspector Faroun
begins unraveling a conspiracy from Syria's troubled past,
a secret that Vera may have uncovered—at the cost of her
life. As the elements of a sinister and elusive crime bubble to
the surface, Nikolai must be careful not to bring to light
secrets of his own. All games, in the end, must be played
against the dark backdrop of a city which has been the
center of Middle Eastern intrigue for millennia, the stony
ground where Cain slew Abel, where Saladin once ruled, and
where Nikolai must discover the key to the murder of a
courageous woman who dared disturb the ancient order.
