Publisher: Soho Press, New York
A member of the tiny but ancient Samaritan community has been murdered. The dead man controlled hundreds of millions of dollars of government money. If the World Bank cannot locate it within the next several days, all aid money to the Palestinians will be cut off. Visiting Nablus, Omar Yussef must solve the murder and find the money, or all Palestinians will suffer. "Provocative...In a culture that thinks of terrorist bombers as martyrs, Rees's modest protagonist, an aging Palestinian schoolteacher named Omar Yussef, is not one's idea of a hero. But in two previous books...this decent man proved his courage by daring to keep an open mind in a closed society." (New York Times Book Review )
