The second book in the series, "A Grave in Gaza", appeared in 2008 (under the title "The Saladin Murders" in the UK). Omar Yussef travels to Gaza, where he struggles against corrupt security chiefs who are smuggling weapons. The Bookseller called it "a cracking, atmospheric read." The third book in the series, "The Samaritan's Secret", was published in 2009. Set in Nablus, it takes place against the backdrop of the city's ancient casbah and the small community of Samaritans still living on a hilltop overlooking the West Bank town. "The New Republic" called it "a wonderful detective thriller." Rees's fourth novel, "The Fourth Assassin", appeared in 2010 and showed Omar Yussef to be "one of the most beguiling of current sleuths," according to "The Sunday Times". Omar goes to New York for a UN conference and uncovers an assassination plot.
