Praise for the Omar Yussef series:
“Astonishing.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times
Book Review “Matt Beynon Rees has taken a
complex world of culture clash and suspicion and placed upon
it humanity.”—David Baldacci “Omar’s probe of a West
Bank ruled by political intrigue, religious hatred, and
militia thugs lets ex-TIME Jerusalem bureau chief
Rees make the Mideast conflict personal.”—Entertainment
Weekly “A beautifully written story. . . . [Omar
Yussef’s] decency is a light in the gloom. I shall not
forget him.”—Anne Perry “Rees tells this grim story
with skill, specificity and richly detailed descriptions of
people and places. . . . Offers a vivid portrait of
Palestinian life today.”—The Washington Post
“The best—and the rarest—sort of mystery: exciting and
compelling, but it is also a deeply moving story.”—David
Liss “Omar Yussef is a splendid creation.”—Colin
Dexter Arriving to visit his son in a heavily
Palestinian area of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Omar Yussef
discovers the beheaded body of one of the boy’s roommates.
When his son is arrested as a suspect, Omar Yussef must
prove his innocence. Matt Beynon
Rees was born in South Wales. He was previously the
Jerusalem bureau chief for TIME magazine and has
covered the Middle East as a journalist for over a decade.
He is the author of Cain’s Field: Faith, Fratricide, and
Fear in the Middle East, as well as four books in the
Omar Yussef series. He won the Crime Writers’ Association
New Blood Dagger for the first mystery in the series.
