Derek B. Miller's striking follow up to his much-loved, John Creasey Dagger-winning, Norwegian by Night. The Girl in Green takes us deep into modern Iraq, where British journalist Thomas Benton and relief worker Marta Strom are persuaded by ex-US soldier Arwood Hobbes to embark on what may be a fools' errand in a last-chance effort to atone for their failure to save a local girl more than twenty years previously, following Operation Desert Storm. Set against the shattered landscape and broken heart of Iraq, The Girl in Green is an adventure story told with all the wit, humanity and insight of Miller's acclaimed debut.

Recensione:
'An engrossing, eye-opening, elegantly written book, highly recommended.' (Malcolm MacKay, author of The Necessary Death of Lewis Winter)

'Miller's powerful debut Norwegian By Night had a range of concerns, but quickly plunged readers deep into Nordic noir territory. The Girl in Green is very different, with Iraq its subject. A provocative engagement with US foreign policy is matched to rich and multifaceted characterization.' (Independent)

'A thriller that combines characters of more than usual sensitivity with the harsh reality of combat and a prescient analysis of the shameful behaviour of governments.' (The Times)

'The story is written with tremendous pace and insight, and the lyrical, satirical edge to the prose owes a debt to the likes of Catch-22, as the ludicrous nature of the situation the characters find themselves in is expertly delineated. There is real heart here too, though, amongst the black humour.' (Doug Johnstone Big Issue)

'Told with all the wit, humanity, and insight of [Miller's] acclaimed debut . Best book we've read in ages.' (Sunday Canberra Times (Australia))

'Miller dives into the complex and confusing world of the Middle East with a depth of knowledge of the region and the forces at play that is obvious on every page. His writing is direct and powerful - it's impossible to read this without becoming angry and upset, but there is humor too, and just enough hope . His first book, Norwegian By Night, was one of my favourite books of 2013, and I think this one's even better. Verdict: heart-thumping thriller.' (Herald Sun (Australia))

'Before publishing Norwegian By Night Derek Miller worked in international affairs for over twenty years. In his new novel he calls upon his wealth of knowledge and experience to give us another emotionally moving thriller that looks at Iraq and the mess The West has made in the Middle East in the last twenty five years. Miller manages to convey all this to the reader in a page-turner that is both funny and sad, intelligent and full of hope. This is a must read from a writer of extreme talent and compassion.' (Jon Page Pages & Pages Booksellers)

'By setting his outstanding literary thriller in the confused, complex and volatile aftermath of conflict, Miller effectively guns down any notion of military heroics and instead focuses his verbal firepower on the plight of civilians caught up in the deadly wake of war..Written with Miller's incisive wit, intelligence, compassion and authenticity, this is a novel from a writer fast becoming a master of his craft.' (Lancashire Evening Post)

'The Girl in Green is one of those books that will definitely stay with you a long time after you've closed its covers.' (Crime Fiction Lover)

'A stunning contemporary thriller.' (Thriller Books Journal)
