I remember a book about a man who is dissatisfied with his life, and he sees something about a total eclipse in Khartoum so he decided to move there. There's mentions of something called the singing sand where the desert is cooling after soaking upheat all day and the sand releases this high pitched noise which supposedly drives people mad, so they take off their clothes and run into the desert.
The guy ends up getting involved in some dangerous shit with local intrigue, but I can't remember much more than that. There was one part where a woman is leading him through the cramped pathways between buildings because someone wants to kill them or something.
Would appreciate it ifin anyone could solve this for me.
