Collateral Damage by Steve Howell
The story of a Palestinian woman's search for the truth about her lover's death. It's 1987. Ayesha lives in London having fled Beirut five years earlier. When Tom's found dead in Tripoli, the Libyan police say it was an accident and the Foreign Office agrees. But Ayesha's suspicious - and soon she's in a life and death battle with a powerful enemy.
It's brilliant, a very good bookI do recommend it - I read it non-stop because I so enjoyed it. Jeremy Corbyn; Collateral Damage is a clear-eyed, crisply written and vividly contemporary novel with lots to say, or at least suggest, about the dark arts of the Foreign Office and the shadowy men who keep the Whitehall mandarins company. Jon Gower, Nation Cymru; An engrossing political thriller...Fast-paced and carefully plotted, it's a short and punchy read, which I devoured in a couple of sittings. The novel's central twist continues to have painful relevance today. Ian Sinclair, Morning Star; Intriguing and engaging. Deconstructing complex imperialist histories through some brilliant and accessible characters. Bravo. Jennifer Larbie, Christian Aid.
