One - way ticket to Paradise (FICTION)
Judith Tempest, a British reporter, is searching for the Truth. But when it starts to spill out in her brilliant front page reportage of Middle East suicide bombing in retaliation for Israeli tanks mowing down innocent Palestinian women and children, both 'Tempest' and 'Truth' start to spell 'Trouble'-- with a capital 'T', joke her friends and colleagues.
Ticket to Paradise by Yvonne Ridley
At last, Judith feels she has found a man who treats her as an equal, a man whose love and fidelity she can trust. Fast-paced, confident and enthralling, this is the story of a tough-talking woman in a macho man's world. It also dares to do what few western writers would--humanise Muslim society. Ticket straddles the world of journalism and espionage with the sure hand of some one who knows both. Ridley's expert knowledge is alone enough to ensure a big hit with her first stride into big-time fiction. Paperback , pages.
