I liked this fourth book in the Omar Zagouri series. I like this series because it usually is focused on a relic from the past and the author goes back and forth between telling the modern day story and also the story behind the relic. In this story, there are a series of paintings and poems about Nadia who was the wife of Saladin's son, who lived during the times of the Crusades. A modern day crime family who descends from Saladin is trying to obtain the paintings and poems to preserve the honor of their family. As Omar tries to prevent the theft of these paintings, he discovers that the daughter of this family is in danger of being the victim of an honor killing. The honor killings have been going on in this family for centuries.
It's a surprisingly fast read filled with action and adventure. I was drawn into Eleanor/Nadia's story and found myself hurrying through the modern day to get to the story from the Crusades. Looking forward to Omar's next adventure.
