520    "Not since childhood has Faraz returned to the Mohalla, 
       Lahore's infamous walled inner city, where women still 
       pass down the profession of courtesan to their daughters. 
       But he still remembers the day he was abducted from the 
       home he shared with his mother and sister there, at the 
       direction of his powerful father, who wanted to give him a
       chance at a respectable life. Now Wajid, once more 
       dictating his fate from afar, has sent Faraz back to 
       Lahore, installing him as head of the Mohalla police 
       station and charging him with a mission: to cover up the 
       violent death of a young kanjari. It should be a simple 
       assignment to carry out in a marginalized community, but 
       for the first time in his career, Faraz finds himself 
       unable to follow orders. As the city assails him with a 
       jumble of memories, he cannot stop asking questions or 
       chasing down the walled city's labyrinthine alleyways for 
       the secrets-his family's and his own-that risk shattering 
       his precariously constructed existence. Profoundly 
       intimate and propulsive, The Return of Faraz Ali is a 
       spellbindingly assured first novel that poses a timeless 
       question: Whom do we choose to protect, and at what 
       price?"--|cProvided by publisher.
