New Novel Portrays How a Woman Escapes an Abusive Marriage in Saudi Arabia and Undermines Islam
LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The recent thriller by author, Mark Biskeborn, "A Sufi's Ghost," has won a great deal of attention with its controversial characters:  Larry Larson honed his skills in the Green Berets and then took a case officer's job with the CIA. When top CIA officials order Larson to terminate his partner in Saudi Arabia, he instead takes an early retirement. His wife had already left him. His son won't speak to him. Eager to make up for lost personal life and time he decides to return to Saudi Arabia to hunt down high value targets for their bounty rewards. No sooner does he arrive and his prime source of information, Prince Nabir is assassinated. Before his death Nabir passes his notebook and rosary on to his friend Carmen when she desperately needs to leave Saudi Arabia. The notebook guides her to seek help from Larson. By the time Carmen finally finds Larson in a Riyadh hotel, she has already committed two capital crimes: leaving her husband's house without permission and driving a car alone. She informs Larson that the police suspect him of Nabir's murder. Realizing that he must also flee the country, he teams up with Carmen. Together, they leave Riyadh and head east, eluding the police. Riding with Larson, Carmen studies the notebook and rosary that Nabir left for her. She discovers that the rosary and notebook contain pieces of poetry written in ancient Sufi codes that reveal the location of a lost chapter from the Koran, one that could undermine the political and religious authority of patriarchal Islam. Powerful Muslims want to take possession of this lost document at all costs. "A Sufi's Ghost," sequel to "Mojave Winds," has caught the attention of the publishing world.
