In a world where secrets kill, an ex-cop discovers he'€™s got the biggest secret of all.'€¦ Set in a 21st-century Ottoman Empire, Jon Courtenay Grimwood'€™s acclaimed Arabesk series is a noir action-thriller with an exotic twist. Here an ex-cop with nothing to lose finds himself on the trail of a man he doesn'€™t believe in: his father. Ashraf Bey has been a lot of things'€“and most of them illegal. Now, having resigned as El Iskandryia'€™s Chief of Detectives, he'€™s taking stock of his life and there'€™s not much: a mistress he'€™s never made love to, a niece everyone thinks is mentally incompetent, and a credit card bill rising towards infinity. With a revolt breaking out across North Africa, the world seems to be racing Raf straight to hell. The last thing he needs is a father he'€™s never known. But when the old Emir'€™s security chief requests that Raf come out of retirement to investigate an assassination attempt on His Excellency, that'€™s exactly what Raf gets. Now, disguised as an itinerant laborer, Raf goes underground to discover a man'€“and a past'€“he never knew'€¦and won'€™t survive again. '€œFast, furious, fun and elegant, the Arabesk trilogy is one of the best things to hit the bookstores in a while.'€ '€“SF Revu '€œFelaheen is SF at its most inventive.'€ '€“Guardian From the Trade Paperback edition.
