Book description
>The dead woman is Aisha, a former model with an Egyptian mother,
visiting the Middle East for the first time. Reporters descend on her
Somerset home, linking her death with Princess Diana s high profile
campaign for a ban on landmines. Amanda, a young features writer, is
sent to Beirut to write a human interest story about Aisha s death.
There she finds a city only just recovering from more than a decade of
civil war. Lebanon is still occupied by Israel in the south, prompting a
bloody conflict with Hezbollah, and she realises that thousands of
ordinary Lebanese are trapped between two ruthless enemies. She begins
to suspect that Aisha may have been another victim of this forgotten
war. But with a wayward princess and a charismatic new prime minister
making headlines at home, how can she make sure that justice is done for
Aisha - and for Lebanon?> >The dead woman is Aisha, a former
