"...[A] lyrical and engrossing book." — Publishers Weekly
"One of the most affecting, sympathetic accounts of Arab culture in recent memory." — Kirkus
“The Honored Dead is a rare treasure in which every word does quadruple duty. It's a crackling whodunit, an incisive political thriller, vivid travelogue, and it's told by a complicated, memorable, and eminently likeable protagonist. Spectacular.”
—Dan Baum, bestselling author of Nine Lives: Death and Life in New Orleans
