Publisher's Synopsis
You can see a lot through the scope of a rifle. Perhaps too much. A vicious murder, unseen by the ever-present eyes of State surveillance, draws Sufi-trained secret policeman Inspector Mustafa Awad into an intricate plot of revenge and misdirection. Already wrestling with the apparent futility of his work and burdened with a sense of personal responsibility for the victim, Inspector Awad is led to the frontier of a new and untamed world, where the horrors of the past contend with the bright promise of a limitless future. Poised with his finger on the trigger, Awad must make the most difficult decision of his life. Highly imaginative and strongly character-based, Sam Uzi novels are written to entertain the thoughtful. Criminal features the fourth appearance of Inspector Awad in a Sam Uzi novel.
