Corporate auditor Sam Keller, careful to a fault, has decided to live it up for a change. And what better spot for business-class hedonism than the boomtown of Dubai, where resort islands materialize from open ocean, fortunes are made overnight, and skiers crisscross the snowy slopes of a shopping mall.
But when a colleague is murdered during a night on the town, Sam soon finds himself waist-deep in a bewildering, lethal mix of mobsters, prostitutes, and crooked cops.
Offering a chancy way out is Anwar Sharaf, the unlikeliest of detectives. A former pearl diver and gold smuggler with an undignified demeanor, Sharaf is sometimes as baffled as Sam by the changes to his homeland. But he knows where the levers of power reside. And as the unlikely duo work their way toward the heart of the case, each man must confront the darkest forces threatening Dubai from within.
A stunning portrait of a world where the old and new continually collide, and Dan Fesperman’s most suspenseful novel yet.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes...this book transcends the novelty of the setting and winds up being a generally well done and fun novel with flawed but lovable characters.Who was your favorite character and why?
Anwar Sharaf becomes your favorite. He has a great backstory and perfectly conveys the conflict between traditional values and modern living, while being a loving father and loyal ally to Sam.Have you listened to any of Christopher Lane’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I thought the performance was excellent.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.Any additional comments?
I picked this up after a trip to Dubai. I had meant to read it on the plane but wound up listening afterwards and I'm glad I did--the places meant a lot more to me after my visit. I was pleasantly surprised that this was such a good story, regardless of the location.Well-written & performed mystery in faraway land
