An Omar Yussef Mystery
As he tries to save the lives of two men, Omar Yussef is confronted with the corruption and violence of Gaza’s warring government factions and the criminal gangs with which they are connected.
"The zany plot is interesting despite its implausibility, and the richly detailed descriptions, complete with deliberately brutal details of torture and death, emphasize Omar Yussef's peril and the violent tumult of the Middle East." - Publishers Weekly.
"Gaza, where nothing is as it seems, is the perfect setting for the puzzle Sirhan's second in a series offers." - Kirkus Reviews.
"[An] exceptionally fine follow-up to his highly praised debut ... A compelling mystery story and a sympathetic portrait of a wounded society, this novel is truly excellent popular fiction. Strongly recommended for mystery and general collections." - Library Journal.
