Collaborator of Bethlehem

â€œMatt Beynon Rees has taken a complex world of culture clash and suspicion and placed upon it humanity.â€ â€”David Baldacci, author of The Camel Club

â€œA beautifully written story. I have walked the streets of Bethlehem with Omar Yussef, smelled the dust and the fear, tasted his food, shared his anger and his hope. His decency is a light in the gloom. I shall not forget him.â€ â€”Anne Perry, author of Dark Assassin

â€œThe Collaborator of Bethlehem is the bestâ€”and the rarestâ€”sort of mystery: exciting and compelling, but it is also a deeply moving story that will, for many readers, shed much needed light on the conditions in the Palestinian territories. Matt Beynon Reesâ€™s ability to blend the political and the emotional is reminiscent of Graham Greene.â€ â€”David Liss, author of The Ethical Assassin

â€œOmar Yussef has everything I admire in a detective: humility, humanity, a great faith in the power of knowledge and a few bad habits too!â€ â€”Barbara Nadel, author of The Ottoman Cage

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 Yussefâ€™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.
