The Poet Game: Salar Abdoh

In the wake of the World Trade Centre bombing of 1993, New York has become ground zero for an intricate web of betrayals and double-crosses in the shadowy world of Islamic fundamentalism. Sami Amir arrives in Brooklyn via Iran, his mission to investigate rumours of terrorist plots that are set to culminate around Christmas and New Year - only a few weeks away... First published in 2000, before the fall of the Twin Towers, this book now comes over as being eerily prescient.
