Respublic Amerike (Omar, the Egyptian): Part I - Quantum Lapse

After a devastating personal defeat, Omar Yakoub quits his job as anesthesiologist. From the comfort of his seaside apartment in Boston, the Egyptian earns a living solving crimes, as well as by occasionally tutoring desperate medical students.

Lela Kraft, Harvard Medical’s top dog for two years, seeks Omar’s help after she’s toppled off the lead by one of his students. Occupied by a new case, he’ll only make time for her if she runs errands for him. Eager to slow down her competition, but mostly enchanted by the teasingly-cool Egyptian, Lela agrees.

Omar’s client is a British baron who fell victim to a time travel scam, and lost a fortune. Employing first-rate deduction, Omar exposes the ingenious intricacies and hunts down the fraudsters: going after a Maharaja across India, then fighting against Vor V Zakone, the notorious Russian Mafia. Battle after battle, the plot thickens. Deep within the most influential of US institutions, Omar discerns the enigmatic man behind it all.

To keep him at bay, the all-powerful nemesis frames Omar as a terrorist, hurling law enforcement after him in a relentless pursuit.

Omar, distraught by the exacting chase, struggles against his second personal defeat. Lela, all along loving and supportive of the Egyptian, must dissuade him from escaping America, and wrestle him back to the case and into her arms.

But it’s the toughest of calls.

For even for a man with Omar’s daring and mind-bending schemes, it’ll be a long shot defeating an adversary with such infinite capabilities. Omar, an immigrant rejected from society, will have to take hell, just to prove that he really belongs.
