When a mercenary goes missing en route to Iraq, his closest surviving friend embarks on a hunt across the post-war Middle East.
‘One of the best promenade dramas I’ve seen, truly effective and illuminating.’
Tom Stoppard
When a diver’s going to the depths, he has to go slowly. On the way down, he stops for a minute or two, treads water. Lets his body get used to the conditions.
That’s what Amman is for contractors. After Iraq. And before. We tread water.
