Items related to The Burning Gates: A Makana Investigation: 4
A war criminal on the run.
A mercenary hunting him down.
A man caught in the crossfire.
Private Investigator Makana has a new client: the powerful art dealer Aram Kasabian. Kasabian wants him to track down a priceless painting that went missing from Baghdad during the US invasion. All the dealer can tell Makana is that the piece was smuggled into Egypt by an Iraqi war criminal who doesn't want to be found.
The art world is a far cry from the shady streets and dirty alleyways of the Cairo that Makana knows, but he discovers that this side of the city has its own dark underbelly. Before long, he finds himself caught between dangerous enemies on a trail that leads him into the darkness of war and which threatens to send the new life he has built for himself up in flames.

Review:
A dense political thriller, the fourth novel in the Makana series doesn't disappoint (Independent)
For some time now, Parker Bilal has been writing superb crime novels set in Egypt . this fourth Makana book is a sardonic commentary on Mubarak's Egypt at its most corrupt (Sunday Times)
Makana's become one of crime fiction's most interesting and sympathetic detectives. Bilal's Cairo is a Los Angeles of yesteryear, Makana a wonderful Marlowe. That's a compliment to an author who gets better and better (The Times) --9781408841082
Government ministers mingle with gangsters in a superb crime novel set in corrupt Cairo (Sunday Times 'Must Reads') --Sunday Times 'Must Reads
Lovable ex-policeman Makana . The Mcguffin at the centre of the plot is a missing painting smuggled into Egypt by an Iraqi war criminal, enabling Bilal to make sly commentary on the state of the Middle East. This beautifully written series just gets better and better (Sunday Express) --Sunday Express
