The Case of the Empty Skulls

A HIGH-CONCEPT SCI-FI PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER & BRAIN-BENDING MYSTERY & BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PASSENGER ZERO AND SAO PAULO 13. In the freezing winter of 1989, Cairo is gripped by a series of horrific, inexplicable murders. Naked victims are discovered with tattooed foreheads and completely empty skulls-their brains mysteriously liquefied and drained. The deceased share no apparent connection except for one terrifying fact: each had uncovered “The Truth”. Meanwhile, a young handball coach suffering from a rare memory impairment finds his mind randomly assimilating the memories of strangers tied to the victims. Entangled in a sprawling, dark conspiracy whose key is buried deep within his fractured mind, he must piece together his broken recollections before his own existence is erased. Fusing high-concept science fiction with psychological suspense, Ahmed Abdel Fattah Saleh delivers a shocking, fast-paced thriller that blurs the boundary between illusion and reality.
