## Description

FROM THE BESTSELLING BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR After a one-night stand with an attractive stranger, pole-dancer Gina Davies finds herself prime suspect in an attempted terrorist attack on Sydney. Hunted by the police, her face stares back at her on the unremitting 24/7 news cycle. She is soon running away from her dreams for a better life and witnessing every truth turn into a betrayal. The Unknown Terrorist is a startlingly prescient novel that drums with the cadences of city life; where fear invades individual lives, pushing one woman ever closer to breaking point. 'Compelling and disturbing' Economist 'A terrific novel, maintained at fever heat' Guardian ' Stunning... A brilliant meditation upon the post 9/11 world' New York Times
