The Mercenaries, Missionaries and Misfits
The difference between truth and fiction is that fiction must appear at least credible. So walk down Rainbow Street, in Amman, Jordan and, over the next 119 days, 14 actual terrorist incidents will definitely occur, and 417 real people will lose their lives. These are facts. But trying to explain what has happened is, until now, fiction. And halfway up Rainbow Street is the British Council building where twenty-two year old Charlotte has arrived for her first posting. Nominally an exams officer she'll soon understand that whatever she does requires a certain degree of complicity. But how far will she go, and what happens when the old and the new clash? In a world where loyalty has its limits, the line between the real and the invented grows fainter every day.
