The Unknown Terrorist

"Gould's Book of Fish" declared Richard Flanagan as one of the most brash and accomplished writers to hail from Tasmania and in this follow-up novel he creates an equally mesmerrizing portrait of mistaken identity. Stripper Gina Davieshas no idea that a one night stand with an attractive stranger will lead her to become a suspect in an attempted terrorist attack. "Unknown Terrorist" presents the story of her claustrophic escape and her devastating victimization at the hands of the media. Richard Flanagan creates an unsettlingly topical story of a world beset by terror-alerts, newsbreaks, and the consequences of living in a state of fear.
