Come What May

How does one investigate murder in the middle of a war zone? Does it matter is a person is killed by an airstrike or a knife?

When Zahra's husband, Ammar Bseiso, is killed in 2014 he is written off as one of the two thousand or so casualties of war. However, his thirty-five-year-old wife is convinced that her husband was murdered by a fellow Palestinian and not an Israeli airstrike. She spends two years looking for a detective who would agree to take on her case as people dismiss and ridicule her. When Nouman El Taweel agrees to investigate the crime, Zahra begins to regret it almost immediately as the policeman uncovers the truth behind the murder, along with a network of deception, lies and corruption.

'Come What May' is a novel about love, betrayal and class issues in a conservative society which is very isolated from the rest of the world.
