About The violet Cipher

📖 Book Synopsis – The Violet Cipher
A Psychological Crime Novella by Dr. Mohamed Magdy

“You have seven days. And only one truth.”

When elite profiler Elias Mercer is found dead in a locked hotel suite—his body meticulously staged—Detective Raya Elmasry is called to investigate. But the crime scene hides more than blood. It holds the first of seven violet-sealed envelopes, each containing a chilling message that forces Raya to relive moments she’s spent years trying to forget.

As each envelope is opened, her grip on reality begins to fracture. Twisting timelines, mirrored identities, and encrypted memories pull her toward one unrelenting question: Who wrote the Cipher… and why was she chosen to receive it?

Set in the psychological underworld of Cairo, The Violet Cipher explores the edges of identity, guilt, and control. Raya isn’t just chasing a killer—she’s chasing herself.
