Women in Saudi Arabia are expected to lead quiet lives circumscribed by Islamic tradition. But Katya, one of the few women in the medical examiner's office, is determined to make her work mean something.
When the body of a brutally beaten woman is found on the beach in Jeddah, detectives are ready to dismiss the case as another unsolvable murder. Only Katya is convinced that the victim can be identified and her killer found.
Katya soon discovers that the dead girl was a young filmmaker named Leila whose controversial documentaries earned her many enemies. Was it Leila's connection to an incendiary Koranic scholar or a missing American man that got her killed?
In CITY OF VEILS, the award-winning novelist Zo Ferraris combines a thrilling, fast-paced mystery with a rare and intimate look into women's lives in the Middle East.

I like this book very much! The mystery is intriguing, the society and, mostly, the interaction between men and women so different from what we are used to!

...return to me

Now the book is on its way to hingrald.

Thank you very much.

I listened to babelfisk and kept the book very long. Now it's time to send it further.
I agree with previous reader. A very, very good book.

I wait for Askeladda's address

Here comes an interesting book.

Boken er vel fremme, hingrald! Takk for at du sendte den! Denne har jeg virkelig vært spent på å lese! Saudi Arabisk krim kunne jeg ikke ha forestilt meg før jeg leste den første boka, da ble jeg så fasinert og fikk bare lyst til å lese mer. Mulig jeg tar den med som reiselektyre på en jobbreise alt neste uke, hvis jeg ikke klarer å styre spenningen. Egentlig er andre bøker foran i køen.. Vi får se. BAMP er neste i denne bokringen som helt klart fortjener flere lesere, det er jeg sikker på allerede nå før den er lest!

På vei til neste leser i ringen. Spennende lesning!

Hos mig, tack!

Very thrilling and interesting book!

Snart hemma! Tack för den här ringen!

Hemma igen, väl bibehållen, efter sin korta norsk-svenska rundtur.
