?You do not know the dangers of beauty to these men,? a local policeman warns. Thirty-one-year-old Sally Vyse, a former music journalist, makes a one-way journey from London to Somaliland, carrying with her the deeds to an old colonial mansion that she inherited from her late mother. She is received by Ibram, a young Islamist and leader of a small band of jihadists who have set up base in the mansion. A powerful sexual attraction develops between them, and, at the same time, Sally bonds with an eleven-year-old boy who is being trained up as a suicide bomber.
