#49 A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark, Suehyla El-Attar (Narrator)

I have to say this was a lot of fun to listen to on audio.  As soon as Agent Fatma from the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities arrives on the scene to work the case of the dead Englishmen the story is a complete joy.  Fatma is one of the few female agents but is given her due by her male coworkers because of her skill. She stands out in Cairo in her beautifully tailored suits even as it becomes a power in the world with the help of the return of the djinn to the world.  She enjoys her job and is good at it. With the help of her girlfriend Siti and her contacts with underrepresented religions in Cairo she is going to solve this case.  It seems that al-Jahiz has returned to the world 50 years after allowing the djinn to come back. But is it al-Jahiz or something else? Whatever it is, it can control the djinn and it is tipping the balance of the world. I really enjoyed the story and now I need to track down the other short stories set in this universe and find out if and when there will be more stories of Agent Fatma.
