Series: Omar Yussef Mystery (#1)
Few detective novels have managed to elicit a profoundly emotional response from me the way The Collaborator of Bethlehem had. For his debut novel, Matt Beynon Rees plumbs the depths of his experience as Time Magazine's former Israel bureau chief to create a compelling mystery set within the context...
When a former student, who is a Christian, is accused of collaborating with the Israeli's Omar Yussef tries to prove his innocence. A good mystery plot with an intriguing setting. Rees was a journalist in the Middle East so the characters and situations rang true.
