"After his former boss was killed by a bomb, Omar Yussef became the principal of the UN school near Bethlehem where he teaches. Now he travels with his new boss, a Swede named Magnus Wallender, to inspect UN schools in the Gaza Strip. Upon arriving, they learn that a UN teacher has been arrested. The authorities are accusing him of collaborating with the CIA, a charge his wife vehemently denies." "While Omar Yussef and his colleagues are attempting to secure the teacher's freedom, Wallender is kidnapped by the Saladin Brigades, the most powerful gang of gunmen in the Gaza Strip. When a different UN official is subsequently killed, the UN withdraws its foreign staff from Gaza, leaving Omar Yussef alone to try to save these two men. To do so he must confront the corruption and violence of Gaza's warring government factions and untangle the links between the teacher's arrest, the kidnapping of his colleague, the murder of an officer in one of the Palestinian security services, and a stolen missile."--BOOK JACKET.Rees, Matt Beynon is the author of 'Grave in Gaza', published 2008 under ISBN 9781569474723 and ISBN 1569474729.
