But this is not a nostalgia trip--his last residence there was a jail cell. And who could feel nostalgic for a city like this? U.S. troops have come and gone, and the decimated city is ruled by clan warlords and patrolled by qaat-chewing gangs who shoot civilians to relieve their adolescent boredom. Diverted in his pilgrimage to visit his mother's grave, Jeebleh is asked to investigate the abduction of the young daughter of one of his closest friend's family. But he learns quickly that any act in this city, particularly an act of justice, is much more complicated than he might have imagined.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNurudin Farah is the author of nine novels, including \u003ci\u003eFrom a Crooked Rib\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLinks\u003c\/i\u003e and his \u003ci\u003eBlood in the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e trilogy: \u003ci\u003eMaps\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGifts\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSecrets\u003c\/i\u003e.
