A young woman lawyer trying to break through the heavy bureaucracy of the Egyptian legal system gets her chance when the Public Prosecutor calls upon her to make an appearance in court. The case is an ugly one: a young bicycle messenger beaten to death for no apparent reason. Unless, concludes the lawyer, he was carrying a message someone didn't want delivered.

Egypt is in the news, not to mention the lives and possible futures of Egyptian women in the new regime. This story, written by a longtime resident of Egypt, lets you feel the author's empathy for her heroine, and gives you a peep into a world we hardly know.
