Publisher's Summary:

Ireland's gone bust and with it Aisling Finn's life. She flees austerity for adventure in the desert. But the Arabia she finds is not that of her dreams. Everyone is chasing a fast buck, a fast woman and another G&T. Expats and locals alike prickle with paranoia.

Debonair fixer Brian Rothmann charms Aisling with champagne brunches and nights at Bedouin camps. But is Brian a hero or a desperate expat prepared to go to any lengths to get what he wants? Is this Aisling? Or is he using her as bait? Her only hope is Hisham, a local activist. But where do his loyalties lie?

Aisling faces severe peril when the sleazy expat and blood-lusting desert worlds collide as the Arab Spring erupts. She has to ask, whom can she trust? Can she trust her instincts?

Humanity blisters in this haunting, lyrical thriller about trust and treachery. The stunning debut novel from Rose McGinty.

Critic Reviews:

"Rose McGinty has written a powerful debut novel that crackles with energy and shimmers with lyricism, shedding light on a world that is half hidden." (Sophie Duffy, author of Bright Stars)

"An enthralling novel; beguiling characters that leap off the page and a beautifully conjured world. Exquisite writing infused with a creeping tension held me spellbound." (Jane Elmor, author of My Vintage Summer)

"With its unique blend of exuberance and menace, Electric Souk is a journey and an adventure." (Isabel Costello, The Literary Sofa)

"Rose McGinty's assured debut is evocative and claustrophobic with a creeping sense of dread and paranoia. It leaves you knowing that you can never be exactly sure what is going on." (Amanda Saint, author of As If I Were a River)

"It hooks you from the start, as west meets Middle East in the heat...of affairs and mistrust...." (Tom Hocknell, author of The Life Assistance Agency)

"An urgent book, telling a tale of travellers at a time when borders are being reinforced, especially between us and the Middle East. Beautifully rendered and a gripping read." (Padraig Belton, foreign correspondent and BBC contributor)

"A stunning debut. Breathtaking, transporting. Taste the desert's dust, feel the sweat and exquisite anxieties of this life defining adventure." (Dr Peter Homa, NHS Leader)
