Suite 55

*RIVETING    * UNPUTDOWNABLE    *COMPELLING

A female investigative journalist is murdered in a posh hotel overlooking the Nile, in upscale Zamalek, Cairo. Two seasoned investigators, Maged and Assem, lock horns but must race against the clock to find her killer before New Year’s Eve. Camillia, the main witness, is hiding a crucial piece of evidence. A nefarious international drug cartel, led by a psychotic Albanian drug-lord, is wreaking havoc in the city with a new lethal hallucinogen. This cartel will stop at nothing to succeed… even murdering some of their own members.

Several characters are playing both sides.

It is a deadly battleground of covert intelligence.

Who will ultimately perish and who will survive?

Maged was taken aback by what he saw in the huge basement and realized why they referred to this location as ‘The Bunker’. In contrast to the old historic façade of the downtown Cairo mansion, he was now looking at the most advanced wall-to-wall, state-of-the-art, satellite and surveillance equipment. He looked at agent Rawan in amazement as she walked towards the satellite screens, which were beaming footage from across the world, in real time.

Sophie's World

“Luckily, the parking lot only deleted footage every three months because of the relatively heavy flow of tourism that took place at Cramond Ghost Island during the summer months. The old man in charge of the parking lot security cameras asked us why we needed the footage. Ethan told him that I met someone there at noon on a Saturday in July and that the police needed to verify that this meeting took place on that date.

     The old man had to review footage of the four Saturdays in July. He grumbled as he escorted us to a small viewing room at the rear end of the parking lot. Ethan and I sat down next to the old man as he began his search. He rolled back to the first Saturday at noon but found nothing. The second Saturday also showed nothing. On the third Saturday, my car appeared in the footage as I parked in between two cars at exactly twelve o’clock in the afternoon. The man kept the film rolling for me for another half an hour. Andy’s car never appeared.”

Cowpoke Sorcery

Cowboys, magic, and murder.

Roger Anderson is a member of the most notorious gang in the West. As he’s growing increasingly tiresome and conflicted with his life as an outlaw, he’s confronted with the death of his sister. Likely killed by another member of the gang that he has dedicated his life to.

To uncover this mystery, he’s tasked with studying wizardry and facing powers from worlds far beyond his reach. With everything crumbling around him, Roger is pushed further and further to explore thoughts that lingered in the depths of his mind. What does it mean to be righteous? What does it mean to be free? What does it mean to have purpose?

His friends and family are to aid him in his quest.

Antonio Rodríguez, his best friend: shy, insecure, and could never hurt a fly.

Leroy Anderson, his adoptive brother: known as the king of the west to the rest of the world. He’s harsh and cool, but monotone and never has his emotions exposed to anyone.

Faisal, an older, wiser member of the gang: puts in the most effort to solve the case, but his temper can get in the way at times.

Ann Clarence, a bull-headed bounty hunter: doesn’t seem to care about much of anything. She goes with the flow and helps where she can.

And then there are 13 other colourful members of the Anderson Gang. Sadly, none of whom he can trust anymore.
