Set in Paris and in the enchanting landscape of central Asia, this new novel by the author of the international bestsellers The Alchemist and Eleven Minutes follows the journey of a man obsessed with finding the wife who left him without an explanation. The narrator of The Zahir is a bestselling novelist who lives in Paris and enjoys all the privileges that money and celebrity bring.

When she disappears along with a friend, Mikhail, who may or may not be her lover, the authorities question the narrator.

Then one day Mikhail, the man with whom Esther was last seen, finds the narrator and promises to take him to his wife.
