A Corpse for Breakfast
When a man is found dead at a Cairo breakfast table, Detective Omar Basem discovers a sugar-smeared note: “I tried to come back. I did not make it. Forgive me.” What seems like a peaceful death quickly unravels into a web of guilt, love, and unfinished forgiveness.
Hassan al-Masri returned seeking redemption, but those he left behind—his estranged lover Mona and former partner Dr. Nabil—hide secrets that blur mercy and betrayal. As Omar digs deeper, he learns that the truth can be as fragile as the city’s morning calm.
A slow-burning detective story of second chances, moral decay, and the deadly cost of trying to make peace with the past.
