Assassination

About this book

Nabil returns from Paris with a doctorate and the hope of escaping a university past he cannot forget. Instead, he finds Mariam, the woman he once loved, imprisoned for a brutal murder supported by blood, fingerprints, and the weapon in her hand. Hussein, Nabil's trusted friend, may be concealing facts that could overturn the case, while Alia tries to hold Nabil together. Moving between Paris, Cairo, university corridors, and crowded courtrooms, Assassination combines mystery with an examination of loyalty, betrayal, justice, and the danger of allowing nostalgia to judge evidence.
