Klappentext zu „The Bethlehem Murders “
For decades, Omar Yussef has taught history to the children of Bethlehem. When a favourite former pupil, George Saba, is arrested for collaborating with the Israelis in the killing of a Palestinian guerrilla, Yussef is convinced that he has been framed. With George facing imminent execution Yussef sets out to prove his innocence.As Yussef falls foul of his headmaster and the local police chief, time begins to run out for this teacher-turned-detective. His classroom is bombed and members of his family are threatened. But with no one else willing to stand up for the truth, it is up to Omar to act, even as bloodshed and heartbreak surround him.

Rezension zu „The Bethlehem Murders “
"'Meet the next big sleuth in crime fiction... A genuine gripper.' Independent: The Bethlehem Murders launches a major new crime franchise. It is now available in mass market paperback. 'Intricate and clever... What makes this book so outstanding is its evocation of daily life in hideous circumstances, and the survival of human decency in an utterly indecent situation.' Literary Review 'This book stands out from the pack... A dark and lonely tale.' Glasgow Herald 'Here is a startlingly original detective novel that sets strife within strife, crime within crime. If you read only one crime novel this year, make it this one.' John Lawton"
