The Smuggler and Other Tales

By Awadh Al-Osaimi

In the 1960s and 1970s a particular group of smugglers emerged, who adeptly eluded detection and evaded customs inspections - even for difficult items. Tobacco was strictly prohibited from entering Saudi Arabia and firearms were even more so. The penalties were high and clashes were fierce, often favouring the border guards. But there were occasional instances where escapees managed to slip through unnoticed...

The Smuggler, the opening story in this enchanting collection, recaptures that lost way of life, with its prides and joys, and ever present danger.
