Ghost Runner

Cairo, 2002. Ghosts of the past haunt Makana. The tragic death of a young girl leads him to Gabar El-Mevta, Egypt's city of the dead. The brutal murders that started with Makana's arrival focused suspicion on him. Makana, who continues her research without knowing who she can trust, will also reveal an ancient secret of the local people who live introverted lives.

In the third book of the Makana series, written under the pseudonym Parker Bilal, the famous Sudanese author Jamal Mahjoub explains what happened in Egypt after September 11 and how the intelligence agencies acted hypocritically under the name of fighting terrorism, and draws attention to honor killings and the brutality experienced by women, which are among the bleeding wounds of our country. The novels of Parker Bilal, one of the best Eastern detective writers, and his hero, Makana, quickly created their own readers.

"Makana's observations, sometimes with his sharp intelligence and sometimes with his melancholic mood, bring life to both Cairo and Siva. While Bilal deals with grotesque crimes with finesse, he brings culture and characters to the fore instead of blood and brutality. This third book of the Makana series is literary a gem."
