The Case of Set El-Hosn

In the debut installment of the acclaimed crime series, author Mirna El-Mahdy introduces readers to a dark world of psychological suspense in "The Deadly Nightshade Case" (Qadyat Sit Al-Hosn). The plot erupts with four horrific, seemingly unrelated crimes: a brutal murder in Tahrir Square, a famous journalist spontaneously combusting into ashes, a woman thrown from a balcony, and the mass poisoning of street children.
As traditional forensics hit a dead end, Major Noah El-Alfy takes charge. Following a near-death experience, Noah possesses a surreal ability to perceive hidden supernatural elements and clues that elude ordinary officers. Alongside his loyal partner Kotouz, Noah navigates a web of social and psychological complexities to crack the case that started it all.
