The Joe Bashir series features a San Francisco attorney whose ties to the Somali-American community draw him into cases that go beyond the courtroom. Blood Bond and Shattered Bond are thrillers built around cultural identity and the obligations that come with belonging to a tight-knit immigrant community.
Published in 2012 and 2013, the two books show Littlefield working in a more grounded thriller mode, using Bashir’s dual identity as a legal professional and community member to create tension between loyalty and justice.
