520 This is a gripping novel about zealotry, pirates and
Somalia in crisis. A dozen years after his last visit,
Jeebleh returns to his beloved Mogadiscio to see old
friends. He is accompanied by his son-in-law, Malik, a
journalist intent on covering the region's ongoing
turmoil. What greets them at first is not the chaos
Jeebleh remembers, however, but an eerie calm enforced by
ubiquitous white-robed figures bearing whips. Meanwhile,
Malik's brother, Ahl, has arrived in Puntland, the region
notorious as a pirates' base. Ahl is searching for his
stepson, Taxliil, who has vanished from Minneapolis,
apparently recruited by an imam allied to Somalia's rising
religious insurgency. The brothers' efforts draw them
closer to Taxliil and deeper into the fabric of the
country, even as Somalis brace themselves for an Ethiopian
invasion
