At least it appears to be a murder until she points out that, based on the similarity of the handwriting to his identity card, the dead djinn must have been the one to cast the exsanguination spell that killed him. Steampunk generally isn’t my thing but tell me it’s 1912 Cairo Steampunk and I’m much more eager to read it. Special Investigator Fatma el-Sha’arawi has been called out to the scene of a murder. I’ve had this short story for a while but something triggered Amazon to proffer it to me based on something else I was looking at and I thought, “Aha, I never read that after I bought it.” So now I have.

What starts off as an odd suicide case for Special Investigator Fatma el-Sha’arawi leads her through the city’s underbelly as she encounters rampaging ghouls, saucy assassins, clockwork angels, and a plot that could unravel time itself. In Cairo, the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities investigate disturbances between the mortal and the (possibly) divine.
