Synopsis

Smart, gripping and urgent, the new blockbuster from the bestselling author of The Swimmer.

Growing up poor, Yasmine vowed to always protect her little brother from harm. She broke her promise the day she left home, abandoning Fadi to his life in the Stockholm slums.

Five years later, Yasmine still carries the guilt of leaving Fadi behind. Then she hears a rumour that he is dead, killed by a US drone in Syria. What happened to turn her sweet-natured brother into one of the CIA's most wanted men?

The answer will shock her. It will shock you too.

Media Reviews
'A prime slice of Nordic Noir ... forceful and subtle' Independent.
'Fresh, raw and exciting' Sunday Times.
'A gripping and urgent insight into how poverty-stricken and jobless Arab youths become radicalised ... from one of Sweden's most promising thriller writers' Irish Independent.
'One of the best thrillers I've read this year. It will simply take your breath away ... This is an ambitious thriller that really does deliver on all levels and its breadth is wonderful and entertaining' 5/5, Nudge Book.
'Well written ... I was a reader that loved having a slower read in amongst a whole host of fast-paced action sequences. Cracking' Falcata Times.
'The plotting is clever - and surprisingly believable. The characters are strong and well written, and Zander's research - he spent time in Syria and draws on his political experiences to flesh out the international chicanery and inter-governmental dealings - makes this ambitious thriller which delivers on many levels well worth the read' Crime Review.
