The 4th killer

When Omar Yussef arrives at his son Ala's apartment in Brooklyn, where a Palestinian community lives, he finds a decapitated body. The victim was one of his son's friends. Because he is the prime suspect and refuses to provide an alibi, Alan is arrested. Eager to prove his son's innocence, Omar begins investigating the case, following clues that point to the Assassins, a medieval Shiite sect. When they were teenagers in Bethlehem, Ala joined a club with that name. Omar is convinced there is a connection, but what does it mean? As he delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a deadly conspiracy of international proportions. "Astonishing." The New York Times Book Review. "A vivid portrait of Palestinian life today."
