A Sufi's Ghost

A New Novel by Mark Biskeborn

Carmen is desperate to leave Saudi Arabia after her marriage with a Saudi prince fails dreadfully.

From a friend, she learns about Larry Larson, a former CIA agent. With hopes to convince him to help her out of the country, she commits several capital crimes—she left her husband’s house without his permission, took his car, and drove alone in public to meet another man.

Once she explains to Larson that the police will soon be on his trail for the murder of their mutual friend, Prince Kabir, he agrees that they both are in trouble and need to head for the border.
Escaping from the country is not as easy as it sounds. Police put out a search and set up roadblocks.

As police and other underground factions search for them through the night, Carmen manages to discover that the notebook and rosary that Prince Kabir left behind contain coded messages of tremendous historical and political importance.

Step by step the two fugitives combine their talents for survival and soon find themselves not only fleeing the country but also hunting for a treasure of huge importance that could change the course of major religious beliefs.

A Sufi's Ghost becomes popular in Europe.

 

A Sufi's Ghost Reviewed by French Reader, Muriel:

Mark Biskeborn does not only provide us with an entertaining story with his new novel, "A Sufi's Ghost." His well-documented work gives us a
thought-provoking insight into the Coran as a book whose different shapes/versions have somehow managed to reach us. An old manuscript which has remained hidden for centuries is a key element in the story--full of mysteries and surprises. In their winding quest for freedom, both of the main characters, Larry Larson and Carmen, lead us
to consider the role of the written word as a tool for political power, as well as the division which it has caused within the Muslim community. But the passages which I personally like best are when his
characters evoke the Devine Feminine in a powerful and convincing way.
