In an unexplained meeting between Police Inspector Romero and Nadine Speck, drug addict and dealer, both are shot dead in the streets of Levallois by a group of killers on motorbikes. It seems that their target was the young lady. Her brother Eric is the manager of the football stadium of Lisle-sur-Seine, whose club, after a lightening rise, is about to become champion in France. The president of the club, Jean-Pierre Reynaud, knows that it's not a safe bet. He is about to transfer one of his star players for an astronomical amount of money. But where does the money come from? Who financed the murders? And, what was Romero doing with that troubled girl, outside an official enquiry? Police chief Daquin believes his inspector to be innocent, and while tracing the murderers' lead, he opens the door behind which corruption - and several dead bodies - are hidden.

Joan Smith What Will Survive Pbk published July 2008 by Arcadia Books at £7.99 ISBN: 1905147902

July 1997: Lebanon makes the British headlines when an Englishwoman dies in a landmine explosion near the town of Nabatiyeh. The dead woman is Aisha, a former model with an Egyptian mother, visiting the Middle East for the first time. Reporters descend on her Somerset home, linking her death with Princess Diana's high profile campaign for a ban on landmines. Amanda, a young features writer, is sent to Beirut to write a human interest story about Aisha's death. There she finds a city only just recovering from more than a decade of civil war. Lebanon is still occupied by Israel in the south, prompting a bloody conflict with Hezbollah, and she realises that thousands of ordinary Lebanese are trapped between two ruthless enemies. She begins to suspect that Aisha may have been another victim of this forgotten war. But with a wayward princess and charismatic new prime minister making headlines at home, how can she make sure that justice is done for Aisha - and for Lebanon?
