“The greatest exponent of the policier at work today” Mark Sanderson, The Times
Undercover police officer Adam Sirkis needs to flee Syria. He knows it’s a risk and he’s ready for it. First, he sends his wife and daughter to Libya, where they will find boat heading for the Italian coast.
Meanwhile, Adam himself winds up in France in the Calais Jungle, the infamous camp for migrants awaiting passage to the UK.
Bastien Miller, a police lieutenant freshly transferred to the Calais police force, arrives at about the same time as Adam. His wife is depressed and his teenage daughter isn’t exactly happy with the move.
When a murder occurs in the Jungle, Adam and Bastien team up to get to the bottom of it.
Between Two Worlds is one of these vital books that illuminate an impossible political and humanitarian situation without sugar-coating it in any way.
