Sudden Rivers – Kindle ebook

by Michael Jeffery Blair

— “A complex and skillfully crafted novel with vibrant characters set against a background of incendiary social issues.”

A mid-level U.S. diplomat is sent on a mission to Egypt the day before a military coup that nobody expected. Suddenly, the streets aren’t safe for anyone, especially an American, especially one who mysteriously begins to show fantastic healing powers. Something is happening, something profound and it sweeps him into a life he never before could have imagined

Set alternately in Washington DC, Cairo and Alexandria, “Sudden Rivers” takes us into the richly imagined world of a modern Egypt and spins a tale of a complex society in flux told through the eyes of a man in crisis who has given up on nearly everything some time ago. His only joy is following his passion—hunting for black market antiquities on the back streets of the old city, Al-Qāhirah. In Arabic it means “The Victorious.”

Though denying it even to himself, he suddenly begins to exhibit mysterious healing powers. Who knew the General would grab power overnight, a man as famous for his gourmet cooking as he was for his fundamentalism. It didn’t help that Parrish had rescued his daughter from near death. Now they were on the run caught up in a web of politics and violence.

Everybody wants Parrish out of the way. But something bigger is happening…
