Short description

The first two episodes of the new detective series featuring Boston's leading detective, Omar, the Egyptian. In line with adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Nero Wolfe, this series has some of the greatest mind-boggling adventures ever written.

Extended description

Episode 1:

For two years in Harvard Medical School, the top spot of the class was always reserved for Lela. She earned her place with exhausting study, patience, and of course, by emphasizing the vast distance between her and the rest of her class. Daina, a Lithuanian émigré, usually dismissed for being an average student, suddenly exhibits extraordinary academic distinction and humiliates Lela in front of all their colleagues.

Then, there is Omar, the Egyptian, el hombre sesudo, the genius who helped Daina ride over her back. Lela seeks his help to regain her top spot, but the Egyptian, who earns a living being a freelance detective, won't accept money for his services. In his latest case, a client-a British baron-undergoes an incredible encounter with a man who claims time travel. Eager, Lela agrees to help. (Read more) Episode 1:

What will happen to the student-turned-sidekick?

Can the Egyptian stand to his reputation and solve this problematic, mind-boggling case, to save his client from imminent catastrophe?

Episode 2:

Omar's new clients are vor v zakone.

The "Thieves in Law" are the product of the century-old Russian penitentiary system and are world's most dangerous people. When the Shef of the Russians in Los Angeles comes for Omar's advise, he demands it relentlessly. The Mafioso had all his underworld life and businesses documented in paper and put it in a box, which is missing now. Omar will have to find it in 72 hours or else.

Then there is Advik Chapal, the Indian nobility who perpetrated the ingenious stock market swindle, in the previous episode. How could the fifty-year old gambler mastermind that incredible feat? Or did he?

Are the two cases connected?

You can't miss Omar's hunt after this new overwhelming mystery. Find out how he and Jorge, his Mexican aide, will delve into this impossible mission.

And then there is Lela, the student-turned-sidekick!

No one who loved episode #1 can miss this adventure. Whatever got resolved in the previous installment is sure to get messy this time around and you have to be there to witness Omar play his magic once more.
