KINGDON OF STRANGERS - Little Brown

When a secret grave is unearthed in the desert outside Jeddah, it reveals ? with the bodies of nineteen women ? the shocking truth that a serial killer has been operating in the city undetected for over a decade. However, Chief Inspector Ibrahim Zahrani, outwardly a respectable family man, is troubled by a mystery closer to home. His mistress has disappeared, but he cannot report her missing because adultery is punishable by death.

With nowhere else to turn, Ibrahim brings the case to clever, determined Katya Hijazi, one of the few women on the force. Drawn by both investigations into Saudi Arabia's perilous underworld, Katya must also be increasingly careful to hide a secret of her own.
