A Killing Sin - KH Irvine - Political thriller
A very different read and one to educate. This is set in the future but not so far away
from now. Post brexit, sharia communities and radicalised caucasian women give you
a flavour of the setting. Neil and Amala have developed a tracking system Ezylocate,
so successful that every person has one built in to their identity pass. Millie is a
Professor of psychology specialising in radicalisation and Ella is a journalist. Amala
likes doing stand up comedy and uses her religion in her gigs- a move which is no
t always popular. Amala goes to visit her young brother who has not been himself
lately and is living in one of the sharia communities in Tower hamlets. She has a
burqa that a friend sent her and she realises how restrictive this is and how
others view her in an attire she is not used to. On arrival at the reception (she
has to wait for her brothers permission to go in) she is captured. Millie has
been called to a meeting with Simon Thompson the Prime Minister and during
the meeting there is an emergency and she is asked to be a part of it. The
leader of a female Jihadist cell is making demands and they have Amala
captive. They live show removing one of her fingers and her life is at stake
if the demands are not met. Oh my life! There are twists and turns in this
and my emotions went all over the place. I felt for one person and then
another. A very intense(in a good way), well researched, highly
interesting read.
