Crime in the Spiders' House

Author: Nizar Issa

Suspended detective Essam Abdel Sattar is assigned to investigate mysterious threatening messages received by businessman Rasmy Anakeb, who insists that the sender is his son who died a year ago! Despite our investigator's feeling that the mission is trivial, he was forced to accept it because the assignment came as a personal request from the Director of Criminal Investigations. Of course, he did not believe that a ghost was sending messages, even though the handwriting in the messages was indeed identical to that of the deceased son. Just when Essam Abdel Sattar thought he had solved the mystery of the messages, he was surprised by a murder of high perfection, to the extent that he began to doubt whether the culprit was truly a ghost, and that the deceased son had decided to carry out his threats. What seemed like an easy mission at first turned into one of the most complex cases he had ever encountered in his life. He now had to solve the mystery and catch the killer before they struck again, whether human or ghost.
