The Master of Djinn by P. Djeli Clark
Agent Fatma may be the youngest agent with the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities in Cairo, but she's one of the sharpest in the department. When someone murders the members of a secret society devoted to honoring Al-Jahiz, the Master of Djinn who opened up the world of magic, Fatma is assigned to the case. At the same time, a masked individual claiming to be Al-Jahiz is stirring up unrest in Cairo, urging the residents to revolt again the government and order. Fatma, her girlfriend Siti, and her colleagues must unmask the real murderer to restore peace to the city.
I am glad to see Agent Fatma and the mysterious Siti back for another adventure. Love the descriptions of Fatma's sharp suits, too. I'm looking forward to another installment.
