“Only the Dead Know Peace is a pulse-pounding thriller that combines taut, muscular prose with a panoramic view of the Israel Palestine conflict. The lives of a playboy, baker, journalist, and mobster intertwine in a conflict where the stakes are larger than any of them can imagine. Mansur has done the near-impossible in this tightrope of a novel—he makes us wrestle with all notions of right and wrong, love and hate, in this world and the next.” Martin Ott, former US Army interrogator and author of Shadow Dance
