A political thriller based on a true story. Weeks before the 2011 Egyptian revolution, Noredin, a police officer in Cairo's corrupt system, investigates the murder of a famous club singer at the Nile Hilton Hotel. What initially seems to be a crime of passion turns into something that concerns the very power elite of Egypt. Tarik Saleh's thriller is a refreshing and politically potent update of classic noir. ★★★★ "Corruption seeps into every pore of Egyptian society in Tarik Saleh’s impressive thriller" - Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent ★★★★ "Surprising, edgy stuff" - Phil de Semlyen, Time Out ★★★★ "Has the twistiness and nihilism of an Egyptian Chinatown" - Olly Richards, Empire ★★★★ "A cracking Cairo thriller" - Simran Hans, The Observer
