HEARTS AND MINDS tells the story of five people connected by murder. All are immigrants living in London - some, like Job, fleeing political persecution in Zimbabwe, others, like Katie, trying to rebuild a life after a failed love affair in New York. Dispossessed, bewildered and suffering from culture shock they are also linked to a criminal underworld which services modern middle-class life. From the glittering absurdities of The Rambler, a political magazine, to the horrors of trafficked women, this is a detective story, a love story and ultimately a novel that asks the most serious questions about the way we live now.
