Synopsis

When a woman's four-year-old son and husband are killed in a suicide bombing at a London soccer match, the woman writes a letter directly to Osama bin Laden to convince him to stop his attacks. The woman then takes a job helping the anti-terrorism effort, but outside her doors, the world feels like a war zone-and it pushes her to desperation. With this powerful, provocative novel author Chris Cleave finds fault with both the terrorists and the governments that hunt them down-and gives the average citizen a voice once again.
