IP: Period and alt-history detective and amateur sleuth stories set in medieval Muslim-held lands written by a Muslim historian of Islamic history and Islam and Gender. I write medieval noir and emotionally driven mysteries. Realistic female sleuths. Highly diverse representation as the stories are set in cosmopolitan medieval cities. The novels are well loved within and without the community. Not Aladdin. No caliphs and harems. Just washerwomen, scholars, frontier fighters, tavern owners, reed cutters, doctors, debt collectors, street cops, and corpse washers. Be transported to the scene of a crime in medieval Baghdad. As far as I know, they remain unguessable whodunits. “Rat City,” an alt-medieval noir novel inspired by The Count of Monte Cristo is available for free download off my website.
