The Leper’s Bell

Description

Ben Pelton has a high view of himself, blaming his misfortunes on chance or other people's malice. After he's fired from his law job he takes his wife and children to a posting in the Middle East - but pretty soon he runs into desperate trouble after a traffic accident and a hot night with an arms dealer and two local girls. A brilliant, vivid portrait of life among expatriates in a volatile country. Funny but increasingly dark, THE LEPER'S BELL is most like William Boyd's Morgan Leafy novels. ISBN:9780140282290
