FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE YELLOW BIRDS 'Entertaining, intelligent, and effortlessly readable' Sunday Times 'A stunning novel' New York Times 'One of the best crime novels of the year' Irish Times 'A cracking mystery' Guardian 'Tense and enthralling' Daily Mail 'Taut and enjoyable' Daily Telegraph 'A kickass mystery from a superb storyteller' David Baldacci, author of The 6:20 Man 'A spellbinding and totally original thriller' Philipp Meyer, author of The Son An early morning on a beach in Virginia. As he is taking his daily swim, Arman Bajalan - formerly an interpreter in Iraq - discovers a dead body. After surviving an assassination attempt that killed his wife and child, Arman has been given lonely sanctuary in the US. Now, sure that the murder is connected to his past, he knows he's still not safe. Seasoned detective Catherine Wheel and her fresh-off-the-beat partner have little to go on beyond a bus ticket in the man's pocket. It leads them to Sally Ewell, a local journalist as grief-stricken as Arman by the Iraq war, who is investigating a nefarious corporation: one on the cusp of landing a multi-billion-dollar government defence contract. As victims mount around Arman, taking the team down wrong turns and towards startling evidence, they find themselves in a race, committed to unravelling the truth and keeping Arman alive - even if it costs them everything. A Line in the Sand is a sinuous, powerful and white-knuckle thriller, from the award-winning author of The Yellow Birds, shot through with treachery, trauma and the long tentacles of war.
