Abstract: All our parents have secrets. But Hanna Mehdi's father is unusual. He ran a major bank that collapsed in suspicious circumstances. When it fell, he turned up at her door and told her they had to run away. They fled to a luxury hotel in Beirut which has now become home. One day she discovers that her father may have done far worse than make risky bets on the money markets.
Contents: Hanna has everything, and nothing. Her father once ran IBCD, a major Islamic bank that collapsed in financial scandal. Fleeing with his daughter to hide out in a hotel in Beirut, he has managed to escape prosecution in the UK, and to protect his wealth. But although Hanna is still one of the super rich, she is living in a kind of limbo. One frightening day she discovers that her father has a secret -- something far darker and more violent than any unconventional dealing on the money markets.
