The City on the Edge is elegiac, atmospheric, and utterly authentic. Itโs the story of innocents caught within the American net of espionage, of the Lebanese transformed by such interference, of the children who ran dangerously beside the churning wheel of history. One part Stephen Kingโs โThe Bodyโ and another John le Carreโs A Perfect Spy, itโs a transformative crime story told with heart and genuine experience.
