The End of Sleep written by Rowan Somerville performed by Gerry O'Brien on Audio CD (Unabridged)

In this exuberant, transformative tale of modern-day Cairo, a drunken Irish journalist named Fin seeks a story. His friend Farouk, mercurial teller of tales, has tantalized him with news of the wily Skinhead Said, who may or may not have discovered a cache of priceless antiquities. But the truth remains elusive―not until they both travel to proverbial hell and back, courtesy of a thuggish kebab-shop tycoon and his...

brutal retinue. Once Fin finds a way to save his friend's life, and baba ghanoush is properly made, and other necessities of life are observed, then stories may be spun and secrets reluctantly revealed.
