"Smashingly good…With much wit and invention, Benoit convincingly portrays the Middle East. A hilarious account of chaos in the Cairo airport reads like an updated scene from Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad. Benoit is a rare discovery."
Publishers Weekly
"Where has Benoit been hiding? With a debut novel this good, it's hard to believe he hasn't published at least ten previous books. Every element of this rollicking adventure shines, from its suspenseful, globetrotting plot to its nicely rounded characters."
