Next of Kin - eBook edition

In war, the dead aren’t the only ones who stay buried.

In the remote Kurdish village of Kani Masi, love and peace are all Salim and Amira have ever known — until the day a covert US Special Forces unit descends upon their home. Led by the ruthless Navy SEAL's, the team’s mission is to plant fabricated evidence of a chemical attack. When the operation spirals out of control, they leave no witnesses behind — or so they believe.

Years later, half a world away, a neglected teenager Rachel sees her life collapse after a horrific car crash leaves her mother in a coma and her stepbrother missing beneath the frozen river. In a desperate search for help, she uncovers a hidden box containing classified documents about a massacre in northern Iraq — and a name that ties her family to it.

As Rachel digs deeper, the past and present begin to collide. The doctor treating her mother isn’t who he seems, and the hospital that promised safety hides something far more sinister. When Rachel discovers evidence of abuse and corruption at the heart of the institution, she’s thrust into a deadly game of secrets, lies, and survival.

Who is her father?

What really happened in Kani Masi?

And when the truth finally surfaces, will Rachel have the courage to expose it — even if it means becoming a target herself?
