He had just returned from a long exile in Europe, the US, and Africa, carrying with him a painting by Marc Chagall, the "Blue Violinist," a gift from his girlfriend in Paris. Suspicion falls on the cousins, who may have killed him to get their hands on a treasure supposedly buried underneath the house built by their grandmother when she returned from America. As investigator Abu Khalid wrestles with conflicting evidence surrounding Zakaria's death, he is drawn into a picture of the victim's life, one that recalls fables of gold, sibling strife, the love of French women, false promises of revolution, and the corruption and sectarian enmities that have plagued their homeland. A riveting meditation on the riddle of a crime, Paula Haydar's eloquent translation pays fitting homage to a compassionate, guiding light of Lebanese fiction"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Arabic fiction $z Lebanon $y 21st century. 600 10 $a Chagall, Marc, $d 1887-1985. $t Blue violinist $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Painting $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $v Fiction. $9 204353 650 0 $a Cousins $v Fiction. $9 214290 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802168 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Haydar, Paula, $d 1965- $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230919011133.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E8B0082513211EE8C3E61A62AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
