      About This Book

      'Banks once again demonstrates his extraordinary dark powers of imagination' Sunday Times

      Hisako Onada, world-famous cellist, refuses to fly. And so she travels to Europe as a passenger on a tanker bound through the Panama Canal. But Panama is a country whose politics are as volatile as the local freedom fighters. When Hisako's ship is captured, it is not long before the atmosphere is as flammable as an oxy-acetylene torch, and the tension as sharp as the spike on the cello...

      Praise for Iain Banks:

      'His work was mordant, surreal, and fiercely intelligent' Neil Gaiman
