The Snares (2025)
Rav Grewal-Kök
"Like the tormented hero of Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Sympathizer, Grewal-Kok's Punjabi lawyer turned intelligence officer finds himself ensnared in the machinery of the War on Terror. Lurching from a state of innocence to a terrible state of complicity - a complicity created in part by his own ambition - he becomes for us a new kind of antihero within the modern espionage novel. Although the novel is set in the recent past, it could just as well be a hideous road map for the future."
