The novel takes place across two time periods: 1908, in the late reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, and the present, through a Saudi businessman who experiences a mysterious incident during a business visit outside Saudi Arabia. The novel's events move between the present and the past to reveal to the reader what lies behind the mystery of the novel's events within a framework that blends excitement and suspense with implications for the situation of the Arab world today. A wonderful novel that combines contradictions in its description; it is: realistic, imaginative, historical, contemporary.
The author draws you into three different scenes in different places and eras.. each one has no connection to the other, until the end of the novel, after the threads are gathered, the intended meaning becomes clear to you after you have traveled, roamed the world and moved through history.. the novel reveals something of the aspects of Freemasonry, its activities and its origins.. it combines reality and fantasy in an attractive way.
