Crime novelist Matt Beynon Rees explores the hidden world of the Samaritans, descendants of Jesus’s “Good Samaritan,” in their hilltop village overlooking the violent Palestinian town of Nablus. Rees introduces his third Palestinian detective novel “The Samaritan’s Secret,” which takes place in the Samaritan village and in the murky alleys of the ancient Nablus casbah. Rees shows some of the locations from the novel in this video.

A member of the tiny but ancient Samaritan community has been murdered. The dead man controlled hundreds of millions of dollars of government money. If the World Bank cannot locate it within the next several days, all aid money to the Palestinians will be cut off. Visiting Nablus, Omar Yussef must solve the murder and find the money, or all Palestinians will suffer. (Published by Soho Press.)
