Synopsis
Now a major Channel 4 series.
"Colla writes with power and authority. Politically astute, beautifully constructed and a rattling good read." -- New Internationalist
Baghdad, 2003. The US occupation is not yet a disaster but the CPA has disbanded the Iraqi army and decimated the police in its policy of de-Ba'athification of society. Inspector Muhsin al-Khafaji is a mid-level Iraqi cop who deserted his post back in April. Nabbed by the Americans and imprisoned, he is offered one way out - work for the CPA to rebuild the Iraqi Police Services.
Soon, he is investigating the disappearance of young translators working for the US Army. The bloody trail leads Khafaji through battles, bars and brothels, then finally back to the Green Zone.
"A murder mystery set in post-Saddam Baghdad is as good as it is daring." -- Independent
