About the Book

A compelling story of courage, conflict and compassion, set in Africa and Ireland. Maria witnesses the brutal murder of her mother by soldiers of the corrupt Malangan regime. Fearful that she will be the next target, her father sends her to Ireland for safety. But the refugee hostel in the village of Culduagh is not the safe haven she expected. Hostility to the strangers erupts into violence and Maria finds herself caught in a collision of cultures, fuelled by prejudice and fear. Despite this, a friendship blossoms between Maria and local boy David. But danger still threatens in the form of Jonah Keagle, a secret policeman from Malanga sent to Ireland to find Maria.

Review :
'A very interesting and really relevant read' 'An insight into the problems experienced by strangers while at the same time providing an adventure story with believable characters' 'The images described in the first two chapters of this book are among the most terrifyingly vivid I have ever read... Mr McDonnell combines an exciting story with real and very topical issues' 'An action-packed story of conflict, danger and courage' 'While the book is primarily aimed at adolescents, it also represents a good read for adults' 'A thrilling story full of drama and fear ... action-packed thriller which teenagers will find truly gripping ... Don't try this for bedtime reading. You won't be able to put it down' 'Teenagers will appreciate the uncompromising nature of this powerful story. McDonnell writes with depth and honesty, refusing to airbrush human cruelty'
