A Certificate of Good Conduct

About this book

A Certificate of Good Conduct: when the past becomes the currency of the present and the key to the future. In a world run by hidden bureaucracy and controlled by certificates invisible to the naked eye, our hero finds himself in a bitter confrontation with an Egyptian reality he never expected—he the son of the country ignorant of its secret laws. The story begins with a promising investment deal with an Arab businessman, suddenly turning into an exhausting existential search journey for a document of extreme mystery and importance: a certificate of good conduct. Not just an ordinary official paper extracted from a known government office, but a password held by the Big Man of some village—a mysterious figure said to control the fates of individuals and legitimate businesses, and whoever is expelled from his door is expelled forever from any official work. Imagine your whole future hanging on a meeting, and your partnership that might change the course of your life stopping at a certificate ten people before you failed to obtain! This novel takes you into the corridors of frantic searching—beginning with the confused stammering traffic officer, through the endless extended roads, all the way to.
