Three days until "Crossing Over", my first novel, launches. On her first morning in Belfast, Lena, my heroine, a young English lawyer, hears news of another murder. It won't be long until she's in deep trouble herself.

London's lawyers plead ignorance on Israeli war crimes as they claim "no access to Israeli intelligence about each operation". By "presuming innocence" they won this legal action (despite the RAF sending spy flights over Gaza to gather intelligence for Israel since December 2023). Who believes them?
