effendi

Ashraf Bey is a fugitive from the US justice system, definitely: son the of Emir of Tunis, possibly: and Chief of Detectives in the El Iskandryian police force, apparently...

Small wonder he's a little confused.

Raf's ex-fiancee Zara still doesn't want to see him, so she says. His nine-year old niece is busy doing things with computers that are strictly illegal. And when the city starts to fall apart and Zara's father is accused of mass murder. Raf begins to learn the true cost of loyalty.
