However, Detective Karen Andersen believes it’s not that simple, and embarks on a thrilling quest for the truth, from the roulette tables of the Ritz to the respectable suburbs of Mainz. When the Labour MP for Cherrywood is found murdered, police look for a lone wolf with a personal vendetta against ISIS. “The Killing of the Cherrywood MP” tells the story of Jihadi brides returning from Syria, terrorists being released from prison, and the subsequent rise of extremist right-wing groups across Europe. The novel offers a gripping reflection on the fate of returning Jihadi brides to the UK, and the underage girls who were seduced by the Islamic State when it was in ascendancy.
