Publisher's Synopsis
An extraordinary and highly charged new novel, tackling one of today's burning issues - the threat of Islamist terror from within. Set in contemporary New Jersey, one young man begins a journey from radicalism to fundamentalism to terrorism, against the backdrop of a fraying urban landscape and an increasingly fragmented community. Ahmad Ashmawy Mulloy feels that his faith is threatened by the materialistic, hedonistic society he sees around him, and neither his world-wary guidance counsellor nor his mischievously seductive black classmate, can succeed in diverting him from the Straight Path.
