Fingerprints in the Dark

About this book

Fingerprints in the Dark leads readers into cases where ordinary explanations are never enough. Rahma Khamis approaches crime as an investigator of the human psyche, following the traces concealed behind sensational headlines and official files closed against an unknown culprit. Across this story collection, cold-blooded murders meet conspiracy theories, clandestine scientific experiments, occult rituals, restless machines, and presences that may not belong to the visible world. The writing is driven less by spectacle than by motive: the subtle turns that transform the innocent into offenders and truth-seekers into pieces of the mystery they hoped to solve. Khamis's sharply suggestive prose makes the reader a participant in each investigation, examining the social and psychological pressures behind violence while preserving the unease of the unexplained. These stories insist that the strangest horror may be the truth people leave hidden in plain sight.
