Saint X

Loosely inspired by the real-life disappearance of Natalee Holloway, on the surface Saint X is a ripped-from-the-headlines crime thriller. But on a deeper level, it is an incisive examination of racism, colonialism, income inequality, injustice and trial-by-tabloid. Narrated by the younger sister of the missing teenager, this beautifully written debut novel also looks at the ravages of survivor guilt and the wreckage of a family destroyed by violence.
