THE BOOK OF LEILA A/K/A MADAME SCORPION
​
The Book of Leila, A/K/A Madame Scorpion, (141076 words) is a bold and unforgettable autobiographical novel of intrigue, danger, and transformation, following the extraordinary life of Leila Khani (as she would have told it), a woman whose beauty, intelligence, and fearless spirit lead her from questionable privilege to the shadowy world of international espionage. When the assassination of her Istanbul crime-lord father shatters her world, she is forced to come of age, to rely on her intelligence, strength, and instinct to escape from forces that threaten to destroy her.
​
From the nightlife of Istanbul to the international stage, her story unfolds with passion, violence, cunning, and the search for her personal raison d’être. As she crosses borders and identities, Leila becomes known as Madame Scorpion, a woman as dangerous as she is captivating. Moving through the historical (1955-2021) corridors of power, world politics, and espionage, she lives by her own rules in a world where past honor among spies is rare, and evil is prevalent.
​
Part confession, part thriller, and part epic life story, The Book of Leila is a sweeping tale of survival, identity, and the making of a legend. It is the story of a woman who refused to be controlled, who challenged every authority she faced, and who lived a life most people would never dare to imagine. Once you enter Leila’s world, you will not forget her.
