«El pasaporte» is the novel by Azouz Begag, published in 2001 by El Aleph Editores in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Four police officers from Algiers —Zoubir, Simon, Géloule and Karamel— patrol a city at war in a Toyota. They consume tranquilizers while fundamentalist groups intercept their radio frequency and know their movements. The novel turns that vehicle into a symbol of chaos and of all dictatorships.

For readers of social and political fiction who want a story set in Algiers and focused on the chaos of dictatorships.
