The Predicament

About this book

Young officer Walid is assigned to investigate an incident whose apparent facts quickly give way to troubling inconsistencies. Someone is steering justice away from the truth, forcing him to pursue the case in secrecy. When the scattered evidence finally comes together, Walid discovers the identity of the person behind the deception—and realizes that knowledge itself has placed him in a predicament. Amal Ziada builds the novel around an enduring moral conflict: when truth carries a personal cost, will conscience and honor still prevail?
