Aprašymas

November2001. The holy month of Ramadan. With the world reeling from the attack on the twin towers, a Delta team is furiously hunting a master terrorist amongst an isolated expatriate community in the mountains of Saudi Arabia. The carefully planted bait, a family matter of honour. Visiting his estranged wife and child on the military hospital compound, Riad al Ajmi, British educated homicide detective, realises a serial killer -- a shadowy spectre of a cat -- has been prowling for more than a decade, the authorities in denial for reasons of their own. His own family in imminent danger, Riad investigates the exotic expat community, uncovering deeply buried dark secrets. His journey takes him into the world of virtual slavery, prostitution and drug trafficking in The Kingdom where to be caught can mean a public beheading.A world where a thing is only a sin if found out. Riad finds himself hunted as powerful forces close in and things come to a terrifying head in the all revealing Night of Power.
