Into the Sun by Deni Ellis Béchard PDF Summary

Book Description: “A riveting mystery-thriller that also probes deeper into the nature of war and the ways in which it attracts and transforms some people.”—David Abrams, author of Fobbit When a car explodes in a crowded part of Kabul ten years after 9/11, a Japanese-American journalist is shocked to discover that the passengers were acquaintances—three fellow ex-pats who had formed an unlikely love triangle. Alexandra was a human rights lawyer for imprisoned Afghan women. Justin was a born-again Christian who taught at a local school. Clay was an ex-soldier who worked as a private contractor. The car’s driver, Idris, was one of Justin’s most promising pupils—and he is missing. Drawn to the secrets of these strangers, and increasingly convinced the events that led to the fatal explosion weren’t random, the journalist follows a trail that leads from Kabul to Louisiana, Maine, Québec, and Dubai. In the process, the tortured narratives of these individuals become inseparable from the larger story of America’s imperial misadventures. In this monumental novel, Deni Ellis Béchard draws “a ferociously intelligent and intensely gripping portrait of the expatriate community in Kabul,” indelibly capturing these journalists, mercenaries, idealists, and aid workers (Phil Klay, National Book Award-winning author). More importantly, Béchard vividly brings to life the city of Kabul itself, along with the people who live there: the hungry, determined, and resourceful locals who are just as willing as their occupiers to reinvent themselves to survive. “Béchard is the rare writer who knows the secret to telling the true story.”—Marlon James, Man Booker Prize-winning author “Béchard makes me think of Graham Greene and Robert Stone, which is heady company, indeed.”—Richard Ford, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
