In this story, we meet Fatma. She's the first female agent of a government entity built to investigate mysterious circumstances related to Djinn. The book opens with a Westernized cults mass murder. Agent Fatma is brought in to investigate.
Through Fatma and her friends, Clark weaves us through a vividly painted Cairo and a fun who done it. There's a sweet, Sapphic love story, a buddy cop plot line, and epic fight scenes. (Hadia forever.)
The world building is seamless, and it reinforces my love of P DJélí Clark's work. Clark handles complex topics like colonization, sexism in accessible ways.
