What do a crashed satellite, a string of bizarre murders and a time-warp conspiracy have in common?
Welcome to CAIRO, where the future's just a game and you're already dead.
From the author of BREAKFAST AT MIDNIGHT, "a perfect modern noir" (Richard Marshall, 3AM)
"Frightening, hilarious, insane..."
"Cairo is downright playful... filling us in on not only the tangible space, but also its sonic properties, its perfume, truly creating in three dimensions the underbelly of the underbelly." (Benjamin Woodard, Numero Cinq)
