Diamond Dust

Author: Ahmed Mourad

"For the second time after "Vertigo," Ahmed Mourad uses crime as a backdrop to reveal, in an exciting style, the inner workings of society and the pervasive corruption across all its layers... Thus, he solidifies the rules of the novel genre of which he has become a pioneer." – Sonallah Ibrahim. Taha was merely a medical representative for a pharmaceutical company; a dull, monotonous life of a suit, a tie, a leather briefcase, and an eloquent tongue to sway the most formidable doctors to his medications. At home, he lived alone with his bedridden father. That was before a mysterious murder left him with his world changed forever... His life transforms into an island of secrets, which he begins to uncover in an old notebook he stumbles upon, finding with it a formidable tool with a magical effect. It is then that Taha, along with officer Walid Sultan, begins to track down a killer against whom they have no evidence. Here we will read how this crime turns into a series of murders. And how murder becomes a door that reveals to us a world of corruption and the dominance of power that extends for generations in an exciting sequence that never guarantees Taha will reach its end.
