Top 7 crime series around the world
The Christian Science Monitor names my Omar Yussef novels among its Top 7 Detective Series Set in Foreign Locales. My Palestinian sleuth takes his place alongside detectives by Alexander McCall Smith, Andrea Camilleri, Jason Goodwin, and Zoe Ferraris among others.
I also have a terrific review from The Fringe Magazine for my new novel MOZART’S LAST ARIA: “This story was extremely well written and up there with many other great whodunit books. The narrative is both beautiful and historically accurate, as are many other elements of this crime novel. It is obvious that Rees did some pretty extensive research in developing the foundation for this book. I found the pages of the book turning themselves with the ripping read and sense of urgency that the author created with the plot.”

'Amadeus' has a successor. Matt's latest novel reveals the secrets of the great composer's mysterious death.





Matt's gritty award-winning crime quartet about Palestinian sleuth Omar Yussef set against the noir backdrop of the intifada.
