A Master of Djinn
by P. Djèlí Clark
What could be better than 1912 Cairo for the setting of a steampunk fantasy where djinn and mechanical angels coexist with humans? Fatma, the youngest woman to work for The Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities is on the occult murder trail of a deathly sect. Her partners provide more comic relief than clues to this whodunnit, where colonialism, mythology, religion and social standing all create an unexpected warp and weft to a spellbinding tapestry of a crime thriller.
