Description: 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. Unable to travel, with no social life or routine outside that provided by her father, she is almost a prisoner in the luxury hotel where she lives - a strange fate for a woman in her early twenties. 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. As she follows a trail of blood from Beirut to Lahore to London, she becomes involved in corruption that challenges even her hazy sense of right and wrong. Is her father a killer? And, if so, should she expose him?
