Carbon 14

"Crime has no tool, and dissection will not yield anything. The material is unknown, and the case's threads are intertwined... The events of the novel begin with a man seeking revenge on a woman who betrayed him, unleashing a flood of never-ending events. When the flood comes, everyone becomes a hostage to what they did in the past... Why do we resort to revenge instead of accepting reality and moving on with life? Years change us, making us different people from who we used to be, making everyone else but ourselves... In this novel, Noah begins his attempts to triumph over himself, standing against the entire world...

In his second novel, Mohamed Fouad Issa presents a different model of humanity, crime, and life, new attempts to understand how desires affect us and what impulses do to us."
