This compelling story of corruption, terrorism, and rebellion is the first novel 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, in which we see history brought vividly to life. We find ourselves in a fictional country in French North Africa where we are made privy to how certain publicly accepted lies lead to tragic consequences over the course of two generations in a post-colonial state. In The Secret and The Hidden, we are presented with a puzzle: Why is Samiel, an erudite, retired mathematician, and a legend in his own time once revered for liberating his country from colonial oppression, being prosecuted in the World Court for crimes against humanity now, twenty-five years later? And as the pieces of that puzzle are put together, the novel brings to light an in-depth psychological portrait of the architect of one of the most violent revolutions of the latter half of the Twentieth Century-as well as the dubious motives of certain official entities calling him to account so long after the fact
