Baghdad, 296 Hijri (909 CE)

When an unscrupulous young scholar who claims to possess a controversial Quran manuscript goes missing, most of his colleagues are only too happy to see him gone. Is he merely drunk in one of Baghdad's gambling houses? Is he hiding while he considers what to do with the manuscript? Or is his life in danger for the claim of having the manuscript at all? A friend of the missing man asks Mustafa for help, pulling Tein, Ammar, and Zaytuna into a case that forces them to make choices threatening their hard won peace.
