Part Aboriginal Conrad Warren is on his uppers when he is offered a job spying on an anti-Israeli terrorist cell in his hometown, Sydney. Intelligent, sceptical and humane, Conrad finds himself drawn into a violent world of danger, double-dealing, and into a love affair with Zayna. But Conrad has been set up. Wanted for murder and terrorism, he and Zayna are on the run. This is a taut and unforgettable thriller spiced with humour and compassion.
This gripping new work by Marcus Clark provides an unusually thoughtful perspective on terrorism. There are no simple answers here. Clark's careful research, and his historical background on events in Israel, the West Bank, and Lebanon, plus glimpses of day-to-day life in the West Bank, make credible if not always sympathetic human beings of cold-blooded killers. Many readers will be glad of the extensive bibliography to enhance their knowledge and understanding of a tricky and sensitive subject. Clark's use of a part-Aboriginal hero adds a further dimension to a story of alienation and the search for a sense of belonging.
