P. Djèlí Clark
Set in early 1900's Egypt in a world where the Djinn are a normal part of life and contributors to human society. So much so that Egypt is now a world power and part of the negotiating team trying to prevent a war in Europe. Along with Djinn come evil Djinn, and therefore a government agency to track and manage the spiritual realm. Agent Fatma is one the few women agents and she leads the charge to save the world from some Djinn changing the balance of power with the intent of destroying humanity. I really do love the Sherlock Holmes vibe from an eastern perspective. Love it.
