For fans of Six Truths and a Lie and Hunted, this twisty, page-turning novel masterfully handles the intricacies of community trust amid undercover spies, US immigration, and social media's role in it all.
Hidaya Abuayash is happily married and is excelling at the university that's sponsoring her visa. More importantly, she's safe. Having left behind her family and sorrows in Palestine, Hidaya hopes to obey the law, become a US citizen, and start a family with her husband, Idris.
But after heated arguments lead Idris to pull a gun on her, along with a confession of being an FBI informant spying on her campus, Hidaya reacts-with a knife in his back.
Knowing her immigration status is precarious, and her past in Palestine might harm her family, Hidaya relies on her best friend, Layyan, and Layyan's brother, Ahmed, to help cover up her husband's murder. After all, no one would believe Hidaya acted in self-defense when the law is set up against her for being Muslim and Palestinian. But can she get away with it when the line between allies and foes is blurrier than she thinks?
