Overview

In a city full of unsavory businessmen, desperate refugees, and hard-boiled spies, almost everyone is a suspect. Detective Amir Omar Duran was just a boy when the British invaded his beloved Granada. Now--after two decades of colonial rule--the ancient city of winding alleys and iconic architecture is a smoldering cauldron of corruption, poverty and strife. On the eve of a political summit between the city's wrangling factions, Amir is dispatched to Granada's torrid outskirts to investigate the unusual death of an African migrant. When the investigation puts Amir at odds with some of Granada's most powerful men, Agent Brit Tillman is assigned by The British Crown to keep a watchful eye. As more shocking evidence is unearthed, Amir and Brit must form an alliance to foil a dark conspiracy and uncover the man behind it.
