    Zoe Ferraris' debut novel is hailed as a startling, richly textured work of the highest literary merit. Finding Nouf, set in Saudi Arabia, features desert guide Nayir al-Sharqi, who is hired by wealthy friends to find their missing daughter. When the girl turns up dead, apparently drowned in a flash flood in the desert, Nayir suspects that all is not as it seems.
