When Omar Yussef travels to New York for a UN conference, he is eager to see his youngest son, Ala. But the discovery of a decapitated corpse in his son's empty apartment catapults him into a police enquiry full of contradictions. In his desperation to clear Ala's name, Omar's investigations place him at the heart of a deadly international conspiracy.

Scotsman (The Samaritan's Secret) 'Ree's captures the touching undercurrent of existence in the direst circumstances... This is a rare crime novel.' TLS (The Samaritan's Secret)"More details
