Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:There is no single, isolated crime in Gaza. Each one is linked to many others, you'll see. When you touch one of them, it sets off reverberations that will be heard by powerful people, ruthless people. These are the words spoken to Omar Yussef by his old friend Khamis Zeydan, the police chief of Bethlehem. In A Grave in Gaza, Omar Yussef and his boss, Magnus Wallender, travel to the Gaza strip for a routine inspection of the UN schools in the Gaza refugee camps. Upon their arrival they meet James Cree, the UN security officer for Gaza, who informs them that a teacher at one of their schools has been accused of spying and imprisoned. As they try to free the teacher and keep a lid on an explosive political situation, they are pulled into a confrontation with Gaza's warring government factions and the criminal gangs with which they are connected. Omar Yussef confronts the dark elements of Gaza--dirty politics, bribery, assassination, and kidnapping--in his struggle to free the innocent and honor the dead. Synopsis:Palestinian history teacher Omar Yussef travels from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip, where he becomes immersed in local violence and politics, in this sequel to Rees's "The Collaborator of Bethlehem."
