    For decades, Omar Yussef has been a teacher of history to the children of Bethlehem. When a favorite former pupil, George Saba, a member of the Palestinian Christian minority, is arrested for collaborating with the Israelis in the killing of a Palestinian guerrilla, Omar is sure he has been framed. If George is not cleared, he faces imminent execution. Then the wife of the dead man, also one of Omar Yussef’s former pupils, is murdered, possibly raped. When he begins to suspect the head of the Bethlehem al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades is the true collaborator, Omar and his family are threatened. But as no one else is willing to stand up to the violent Martyrs Brigades men, who hold the real power in the town, it is up to him to investigate.

    En créant le personnage d'Omar Youssef, Matt Rees, journaliste et écrivain à Jérusalem, a rejoint les grands du polar. Son terrain d'enquête : la société palestinienne, sur laquelle Omar Youssef, héros atypique et charismatique, pose un regard passionné et inédit. La qualité de l'intrigue et un sens aigu du suspense ont fait le reste. Après Le Collaborateur de Bethléem, la deuxième enquête d'Omar Youssef nous entraîne à Gaza, au cœur d'une inextricable toile de violences, de corruption et de chantage. Car à Gaza-la-maudite, se fier aux apparences revient toujours à jouer avec la mort.

    The Samaritan's secret

    When Omar Yussef travels to Nablus, the West Bank's most violent town, to attend a wedding, he little expects the trouble that awaits him. An ancient Torah scroll belonging to the Samaritans, descendants of the biblical Joseph, has been stolen. But when the dead body of a young Samaritan is discovered, a seemingly straightforward theft inquiry takes an unexpected turn. As Omar sets out to find the perpetrators of this murder, he is driven down into the murky alleys and tunnels of the old casbah in Nablus. Here, as he uncovers the secret deals of one of the region's richest businessmen, and the shadowy world of the tiny Samaritan community, he begins to wonder whether he will be able to attend the wedding after all . . .
