The Violet Cipher - A Psychological Crime Novella

🟣 The Violet Cipher

A Psychological Crime Novella
By Dr. Mohamed Magdy

You have seven days. And only one truth.

When celebrated criminal profiler Elias Mercer is found dead in a locked hotel room, Detective Raya Elmasry expects a high-profile case with a clear trail.
What she receives instead is a violet-sealed envelope—and a countdown.

Each envelope forces Raya to revisit a forgotten moment from her past. Each confession unravels her sense of reality. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: this case isn’t about solving a murder—it’s about exposing her.

Because Raya wasn’t chosen to crack the Cipher.
She was designed by it.

A gripping psychological crime thriller about memory, manipulation, and the cost of silence, The Violet Cipher is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Alex Michaelides, and Tana French.

✔️ Taut pacing, vivid atmosphere, and a haunting twist
✔️ Strong female lead unraveling a puzzle built on her own guilt
✔️ First in a dark psychological mystery series

“A dark, elegant mind game. You won’t just read it—you’ll feel it winding through you.”
