'Outstanding' New York Times 'Gripping' Associated Press 'Powerful' Publishers Weekly

One man is dead.

But thousands were his victims.

Can a single murder avenge that of many?

Scarborough Bluffs, Toronto: the body of Christopher Drayton is found at the foot of the cliffs. Muslim Detective Esa Khattak, head of the Community Policing Unit, and his partner Rachel Getty are called in to investigate. As the secrets of Drayton's role in the 1995 Srebrenica genocide of Bosnian Muslims surface, the harrowing significance of his death makes it difficult to remain objective. In a community haunted by the atrocities of war, anyone could be a suspect. And when the victim is a man with so many deaths to his name, could it be that justice has at long last been served?

In this important debut novel, Ausma Zehanat Khan has written a compelling and provocative mystery exploring the complexities of identity, loss, and redemption.

Winner of the Barry Award, Arthur Ellis Award, and Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award for Best First Novel

'A debut to remember and one that even those who eschew the genre will devour in one breathtaking sitting' - LA Times

'Khan s device of inserting descriptions of events during the massacre, drawn from evidence given by survivors to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is effective in recreating its horrors [...] The emotional tsunami always created by the description of those horrific few days, in which the Bosnian Serb Army committed genocide while the European peacekeepers looked on, is as strong as in anything I have read about Srebrenica, in fiction or non-fiction...' - Peter Murphy, creator of the Ben Schroeder series and former counsel at the ICTY.

'Compelling and challenging, this is a beautifully written and powerful story of inhumanity and justice' - Leigh Russell, bestselling author of the DI Geraldine Steel series

'A tale of rich complexity... intricately woven, delicately revealed' - Luke McCallin, author of The Ashes of Berlin
