THE SALADIN MURDERS, the second Omar Yussef mystery, continues to build a major new crime franchise. It is a blistering morning in Gaza, as Omar Yussef struggles along the uneven streets to carry out a school inspection. But when he learns that a fellow teacher has been accused of links to the CIA, and jailed, Yussef's suspicions are aroused. But the more Yussef investigates the arrest, the more people seem to be implicated, and the murkier his search for the truth becomes. Yussef must face the terrifying realisation that he is no longer fighting to save his colleague - but himself.
