Book Synopsis
When a prostitute and her ill-fated lover are killed in a gruesome double murder, seasoned investigator Detective Hanash is called in. The case draws him into Casablanca's slums, blighted by criminality, religious extremism, and despair. Hanash's years on the job have made him intimately familiar with the city's seedy underbelly, but this time he harbors a personal connection to one of the victims, one he must conceal at all costs.

Trade Review
"'Bled Dry' is a real page-turner... full of vivid scenes. The novel's sensational, broad brush strokes might imply that it is a frothy, gripping, guilty pleasure. But there are enough meaty social details to give it extra heft. The popularity of crime novels has reportedly been booming among Arab readers in recent years, and with novels like 'Bled Dry' it is easy to understand why."--Hurriyet Daily News
