The Devil's Feather Walters, Minette

A war correspondent returns to London after a traumatic assignment in Iraq, only to discover that the real terror isn't behind her — it's following her home. When Reuters journalist Connie Burns crosses paths with a suspected war criminal in Baghdad, she becomes his obsession. What begins as professional paranoia spirals into a cat-and-mouse game that spans continents, forcing Connie to question everyone around her and everything she thought she knew about survival. Minette Walters delivers a taut psychological thriller that examines trauma, isolation, and what happens when the person hunting you understands exactly how fear works. Dark, claustrophobic, and expertly paced, this is Walters at her most unnerving. For fans of Gillian Flynn's sharp psychological edge and anyone who likes their thrillers with substance beneath the suspense.
