THE SUKUK CIPHER

When Shariah scholar Nurul Aisyah Rahman discovers that her signature is being used to support a multibillion-ringgit financing deal, she asks for a missing document. The answer threatens to unravel far more than a transaction.

Behind Malaysia's ambitious sustainability projects lie disputed land rights, powerful interests, and the troubling death of a young financier. As Nurul follows the evidence, she finds herself confronting a revered mentor, an institution determined to protect its reputation, and her own past decisions.

The Sukuk Cipher is a gripping, psychologically rich novel about money, trust, and the dangerous distance between what institutions promise and what they can prove.
