Just finished The Collaborator of Bethlehem, by Matt Beynon Rees.
I particularly enjoyed this book because of the insights provided into the setting, which is present day Palestine. His "detective" is a school teacher, Omar Yussef who has his share of problems, among which idealism might be the worst. Yussef has his faults but he's a better drawn character than the Marlowe-types.
Was wondering if anyone else read this book and enjoyed it or not.
