One of Us by Melissa Benn
A leading journalist and a woman meet at a London cafe in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq. Anna Adams has a story she is burning to tell, one that goes right to the top of the Cabinet. Her brother Jack has committed a shocking act that the authorities tried to cover up, and Anna is determined both to defend and celebrate him, at all costs.
