In the ancient, unnamed city of Al-Shahid - a place carved from limestone and silence - a body is discovered at dawn in the old souk. The victim: Tariq Mansour, a former civil engineer with a buried past and a cryptic symbol carved into his palm.
Detective Rami Khalil, a man with no traceable history and sharp instincts, is pulled into an investigation that spirals far deeper than a single murder. As he uncovers links between the dead man, a powerful city councillor, and a shadowy centuries-old society known as Al-Mutassim, Rami realizes that the truth in Al-Shahid comes with a price - and that someone will do anything to keep the last witness silent.
A gripping thriller set against the backdrop of the ancient Middle East, The Last Witness weaves power, corruption, and courage into a story that asks: how far will the truth travel before it is buried for good?
In the shadows of the ancient East, every secret has a price - and someone always pays with their life
