Wonderfully topical mystery/thriller. Makana is a unique character- and his situation as a refugee in Egypt makes him even more intriguing. This latest installment in the series has him working with the UK to bring an Iraqi chemical weapons expert to safety. It's highly atmospheric, both in Egypt and in Turkey. You'll get a good sense of international politics, as well as challenges facing the global community. I'd read earlier books in the series, which I think was a plus, but this could well be a standalone. Some of the twists are a bit much but that was ok since this is meant to be a thriller. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. Try this for something quite different in the genre.
