A political thriller longlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize. Tensions mount at a forgotten military base in Iraq when mysterious Stephen Lawrence Sutler arrives. Then an explosion and an attack on a regional government office, and Sutler has disappeared, along with over 50m dollars of reconstruction funds

It starts with an explosion, a man on the run and the theft of over fifty million dollars. It moves from the Middle East to the Mediterranean, around mainland Europe via the sleazy underworld of Naples, and across America. It ends in a locked room.

Brilliantly original, playful and ambitious, The Kills is a terrifying, awe-inspiring, mind-blowing sensation.
