Overview: Rees published a nonfiction account of Israeli and Palestinian society called Cain’s Field: Faith, Fratricide, and Fear in the Middle East in 2004 (Free Press). His first crime novel, The Collaborator of Bethlehem (UK title The Bethlehem Murders), was published in the US in February 2007 and is set in Bethlehem, West Bank, against the backdrop of the Palestinian intifada. It involves the gangs of gunmen operating in the town and the situation of the Christian Palestinian minority. It won the Crime Writers Association John Creasey New Blood Dagger in 2008, was also named one of the Top 10 Mysteries of the Year by Booklist, and in the UK Sir David Hare made it his Book of the Year in The Guardian. His sleuth Omar Yussef was called “Philip Marlowe fed on hummus” by one reviewer and “Yasser Arafat meets Miss Marple” by another.
The second book in the series, A Grave in Gaza, appeared in 2008 (under the title The Saladin Murders in the UK). Omar Yussef travels to Gaza, where he struggles against corrupt security chiefs who are smuggling weapons. The Bookseller called it “a cracking, atmospheric read.” The third book in the series, The Samaritan’s Secret, was published in 2009. Set in Nablus, it takes place against the backdrop of the city’s ancient casbah and the small community of Samaritans still living on a hilltop overlooking the West Bank town. The New Republic called it “a wonderful detective thriller.” Rees’s fourth novel, The Fourth Assassin, appeared in 2010 and showed Omar Yussef to be “one of the most beguiling of current sleuths”, according to The Sunday Times.
