Description

Zoë Ferraris's debut novel offers an electrifying glimpse into Saudi Arabia and its rigidly gender-segregated society. When 16-year-old Nouf goes missing, her family calls upon Nayir al-Sharqi to lead the search party. Ten days later, Nouf's body is discovered by anonymous desert travelers, but the coroner's office determines she died from drowning rather than dehydration. As Nayir delves into the truth behind Nouf's death, he must navigate a secret world of women who are forbidden from working in public and facing the harsh realities of life as a protected teenager. His investigation leads him to form an unlikely partnership with Katya Hijazi, a lab worker at the coroner's office, challenging Nayir's own beliefs about female companionship. This fast-paced and transporting mystery offers an intimate glimpse into a closed society, revealing surprising revelations along the way.
