False Idols

Layla el-Deeb left Egypt for good eleven years ago, after a childhood spent in Cairo's slums. Now she's a language expert for the FBI . . . and she's right back where she started, in Cairo, investigating a terrorist organization that's funding its activities through fraudulent art sales. But this isn't the Cairo she knew. She's landed right in the middle of the city's glittering elite, whose dealings in the art world may be the key to infiltrating the terrorist network. Undercover in the place she was born, trying to fit in with the city's high rollers, Layla is a stranger in every way––even to herself.
