Praise for Night Falls on Damascus
Kirkus Reviews:
No, there never really was peace in the Middle
East. Six months
into his tenure as Chief of the Damascus Prefecture, Nikolai Faroun has
gone through four assistants, been abandoned by his German girlfriend and
his cat, and been told by his superior that he has five days to solve the
case... [more]
Publishers Weekly:
Set in the exotic and turbulent world of Syria in the 1930s,
Frederick Highland’s new novel, Night Falls on Damascus, tells the
story of a French Syrian police inspector, Nikolai Faroun, caught up in a
complex murder investigation of a beautiful and controversial woman from a
prominent Damascus family...
Night Falls on Damascus holds up a mirror to the continuing puzzle
of the Middle East as it weaves a rich and engrossing tale of murder, revenge,
and the corruption of power. With the introduction of Inspector Nikolai Faroun,
a new type of hero enters the mystery scene, a man with a hidden past, a
Levantine working for a hated Western regime, a man caught between two worlds
who can trust no one and call no one friend.
