Goodreads Description:
Bashir “Bish” Ortley is a London desk cop. Almost over it. Still not deaing with the death of his son years ago, as well as the break up of his marriage.
Across the channel, a summer bus tour, carrying a group of English teenagers is subject to a deadly bomb attack, killing four of the passengers and injuring a handful of others. Bish’s daughter is one of those on board.
The suspect is 17 year old Violette LeBrac whose grandfather was responsible for a bombing that claimed the lives of dozens of people fourteen years ago; and whose mother, Noor, has been serving a life sentence for the part she was supposed to have played in the attack.
As Bish is dragged into the search for the missing Violette, he finds himself reluctantly working with Noor LeBrac and her younger brother, Jimmy Sarraf.
And the more he delves into the lives of the family he helped put away, the more Bish realizes that they may have got it wrong all those years ago, and that truth wears many colours. Especially when it comes to the teenagers on board the recent bus bombing. Including his daughter.
Tell the truth. Shame the devil. Bish can’t get Violette LeBrac’s words out of his head. But what he may get is some sort of peace with his own past as the worlds of those involved in two bombings, years apart, collide into the journey of his life.

Pre-Order here and here I really don't read many adult books. But this is Melina Marchetta. Whom I have loved so many books by already. And so I cannot not read this book :D But even so, though, I do think it sounds pretty exciting. And a bit mean. And I think I will end up loving it lots. Keeping all my fingers crossed for this book :D
What are you waiting for on this searching Wednesday?

ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one before. While not really my cup of tea this does sound like a book my mom might love.

I actually had not heard of this book! Though I am very familiar with the author - I definitely plan on reading some of her backlist titles in the future. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it, Carina! =)
