About the Book

July 1997: Lebanon makes a rare appearance in the British headlines when an English woman dies in a landmine accident near the town of Nebatiyeh. The dead woman is a minor celebrity, a model with an Egyptian mother visiting the Middle East for the first time. Reporters descend on her Somerset home, linking her death with Princess Diana's high-profile campaign for a ban on landmines. When a young feature writer is sent to Beirut to write a story about Aisha's death, she finds a city only just recovering from civil war and she suspects that Aisha was another one of its victim.

Review :
'Beautifully written and very clever. I absolutely loved it' - PD James'A literary espresso. Joan Smith's latest novel, tautly plotted and tightly written, will jump start your brain. A wise, witty, gritty book, but also laced with compassion. Once I picked up this book, it wouldn't put me down again' - Kathy Lette'Almost a political thriller (with) a dash of chick lit, a sprinkling of sleuthing and a hint of literary highbrow. The action rolls along at a fine pace and there is a good dose of glamour, too.'- Lucy Atkins, The Sunday Times'A literary espresso. Joan Smith's latest novel, tautly plotted and tightly written, will jump start your brain. Once I picked up this book, it wouldn't put me down again' - Kathy Lette'An intriguing weave of thriller, polemic and satire, with a good dollop of soap thrown in. Smith eavesdrops in newsrooms and strolls around the corridors of power like a left-leaning Anthony Trollope' - The Times'Smith has won more attention for her sharp non-fiction and journalism than for her five works of crime fiction. This new novel is set in 1997 in Lebanon, where a young journalist is investigating the death of an Englishwoman' - Nicholas Clee, the Bookseller
