This compelling novel of corruption, terrorism, and rebellion is the first to reveal the history of oppression leading up to the Arab Spring. It is a tale fraught with intrigue and duplicity that resonates today.

Thoroughly engrossing, beautifully written, and with a memorable cast of characters, The Secret and The Hidden is the first of a two-volume work entitled Ibrahim's Eyes that immerses us in the crosscurrents of revolution extending across two generations in a fictional country in French North Africa.

In The Secret and The Hidden we discover why Samiel, a legend in his own time once revered for liberating his country from colonial oppression, is being prosecuted in the World Court for crimes against humanity only now, twenty-five years after the fact.
