Djerba Nights: A Post 9/11 Thriller (Cosmopolitan Thrillers) - Alexis Debary

In memory of 9/11, terrorists blast the oldest Jewish Temple of North Africa on 4/11. But when a beautiful English girl is found dead on Djerba undercover agent Monica is determined to catch the culprit. Will she unravel the truth behind the multi-national characters, who play a part in this psychological thriller before the murderer strikes again?

This roller-coaster whodunit is also a fiercely intelligent and compassionate piece of writing about finding one's identity in a global world torn between conflicting values; between jet-setter parties, Middle Eastern politics and age-old, Arab superstitions.

Alexis Debary's full-length debut is based on a true event and binds research with first-hand glimpses of the Muslim world. She is a storyteller capable of weaving action and sex appeal into a flying cape that juggles with cultural prejudices and the dubious roles played by intelligence agencies.
