The Saladin Murders by Matt Rees

The Saladin Murders by Matt Rees

'Outstanding... Dark, gripping and often moving.' Economist It is a blistering morning in Gaza, as Omar Yussef struggles along the uneven streets to carry out a school inspection. But when he learns that a fellow teacher has been accused of links to the CIA, and jailed, his suspicions are immediately aroused. And the more Yussef investigates the arrest, the more people seem to be implicated, and the murkier his search for the truth becomes. With the police force, the military and Gaza's most powerful gang all out to silence him, Yussef must face the terrifying realisation that he is no longer fighting to save his colleague - but himself.

A gritty novel which maintains a high level of tension until the closing pagesYussef is quite clearly a detective who is here to stay. -- Peter Burton * Daily Express *
Rees has created a stunning sense of place and memorable characters for his impassioned story. -- Susanna Yager * Sunday Telegraph *
A compelling, elegant and atmospheric read. -- Alex Meeham * Sunday Business Post *
Rees does a terrific job of bringing [Palestine] to life, giving us the sights, sounds and smells the news bulletins leave out. * Mail on Sunday *
