'One of the most sophisticated fictional responses to the war on terror yet published' * GuardianAn illegal Muslim immigrant arrives in Hamburg with a traumatic past and the key to a fortune held in a private bank. He says his name is Issa. To the idealistic young human rights lawyer Annabel, determined to save him from deportation, he is a worthy cause.

'A first-class novel about the most pressing concerns of our time'* Daily Telegraph*
