Sinossi
The burkha-clad body of a young woman is discovered on the grimy sands of Jeddah beach; soon afterwards, a strong-minded American woman finds herself alone and afraid in the most repressive city on earth when her husband suddenly disappears.
Investigating policeman Osama Ibrahim, forensic scientist Katya Hijazi and her friend, the strictly devout Bedouin guide Nayir Sharqi join forces to search out the truth in the scorching city streets and the vast, lethal emptiness of the desert beyond.
Breathtakingly fast-paced, sure-footed and thrilling, this novel paints in dazzling colours a city of veils in which more is hidden than is revealed, and nothing is what it seems.

Recensione
** 'Good to find competition from an unexpected quarter to Henning Mankell and Steig Larsson. The plot is thrilling, characters well drawn . . . extraordinary. Highly recommended (GUARDIAN)
** 'Nuanced , Gripping, engrossing - more than lives up to the promise of her magnificent debut, The Night of the Mi'raj (SUNDAY TIMES)
** 'Zoe Ferraris's confident debut The Night of the Mi'raj, is followed by an even more impressive performance in City of Veils. She expertly weaves an excellent whodunit into an engrossing portrait of a vibrant society, full of sexual, religious, political and moral contradictions (THE TIMES)
** 'It's a double whammy: a riveting portrait of an extraordinary society and a satisfying police procedural to boot (DAILY MAIL)
Descrizione del libro
* Sequel to THE NIGHT OF THE MI'RAJ, which was Zoe Ferraris's first novel, a stunning literary detective novel set in Saudi Arabia
