In 2007 I travelled to Baghdad and spent a month there attempting to secure business for Argus Solutions. While there the US government embarked on its so-called ‘Surge” strategy in its attempt to disengage from the country and the city was ‘on the boil’.
People I met there became the central characters of this novel, while events I witnessed were woven into the fabric of the story. It was published by Harper Collins in Australia.
