Some Justice: The First Ghazi Ammar Medieval Mystery

Transport Yourself to the Scene of a Crime in Medieval Baghdad

The Beloved Characters of The Sufi Mysteries Quartet Return in a New Series

A renowned embellisher and beloved father is dead, and the police have written it off as a natural death. The family refuses to accept it and begs Ammar to investigate. The problem is, nearly every clue points to suicide.

Since opening Ghazi Ammar’s Agency of Investigation and Implementation, Ammar’s done nothing but chase after errant husbands for chinks of coin. He longs to give his wife and son everything they deserve but can barely afford what little they have. This investigation could be Ammar’s big break.

Meanwhile, his partner, Zaytuna, is running her own case and helping out with his, all while juggling motherhood and a household full of family. It feels like she has to keep everyone’s fires burning. When her case opens up old wounds, she has to face that she might not know what is best for everyone, after all.

With Ammar’s family breathing down his neck, demanding he return to goat herding, and Zaytuna keeping the office afloat and making his life miserable, Ammar is determined to make something out of this investigation. But when he uncovers secrets that some wish had remained buried, he finds himself trapped by compromises and even some justice out of reach.
