233 pages ; 20 cm, \"One night, Akram Khan walks out of his house for the last time. When the sun comes up, he will detonate a bomb in a public place, crowded with innocent bystanders. For Akram, it is an act of war rather than one of terrorism -- a childhood within a tight-knit Pakistani community, his traumatic years in the British army and an empty arranged marriage to a woman who resents him have all contributed to his radicalization. But on the way to his target, Akram meets Grace, a prostitute making her way home after a night's work. As they begin to share their stories during the long cold hours until dawn, they realise that their differences might be the very thing that binds them, and that as the clock ticks down, they might be one another's only hope of redemption.\"--Back cover, Originally published: 2016
