Somebody recommended this author to me, and I'm really glad they did - it sounds fascinating, and is set in a place that I've not read a lot of fiction from.
From the Blurb:
One scalding afternoon the mutilated body of a young woman, half-naked beneath her burqa, is discovered on Jeddah beach; soon afterwards Miriam Walker, a strong-minded American struggling to make a life in one of the most repressive cities on earth, is left alone and afraid when her husband suddenly disappears.
