Thriller | Fiction
Gripping, provocative, and revelatory, Links is a novel that
will stand as a classic of modern world literature. Jeebleh
is returning to Mogadiscio, Somalia, for the first time in
twenty years. But this is not a nostalgia trip—his last
residence there was a jail cell. And who could feel
nostalgic for a city like this? U.S. troops have come and
gone, and the decimated city is ruled by clan warlords and
patrolled by qaat-chewing gangs who shoot civilians to
relieve their adolescent boredom. Diverted in his pilgrimage
to visit his mother’s grave, Jeebleh is asked to investigate
the abduction of the young daughter of one of his closest
friend’s family. But he learns quickly that any act in this
city, particularly an act of justice, is much more
complicated than he might have imagined.
