The Nora Khalil series by Carolyn Baugh features an Egyptian-American FBI agent working cases that intersect with Middle Eastern communities in the United States. The series started with Quicksand in 2015 and continued with Shoreline in 2017.
Baugh draws on her background as a Middle East scholar to create a crime fiction series with authentic cultural detail. Nora Khalil’s dual identity as both an American law enforcement officer and a member of the Egyptian-American community adds layers to what might otherwise be straightforward mystery plots.
