Black Widow - McCutcheon Sandy - 2006

Multiple copies of this title available. Remainder mark. The first of September was a special day for schoolchildren in Beslan, traditionally celebrated as the 'Day of Knowledge'. But after September 2004 the day would be remembered for all the wrong reasons, when a group of terrorists took hostages at Beslan's School Number One... Fatima, Tatyana, Madina, Zoia, Katya, and Alina have come together to plan a unique memorial for the dead hostages. Now they are the hostage-takers, and a group of the terrorists are at their mercy. But, as they come face to face with their arch enemies, each 'black widow' is forced to confront her own demons. What is justice? What price revenge? What price truth? Black Widow ratchets up the unbearable tension for an explosive showdown. Real-life headlines have given Sandy McCutcheon the substance of a plot that wrestles with information and disinformation in a masterful telling of the betrayals of ordinary people caught in political conflict. A taut and gripping psychological thriller, Black Widow is an astonishing achievement. Quantity Available: 7. Category: Fiction; Thrillers; ISBN: 1920769749. ISBN/EAN: 9781920769741.
