This captures the lives of a group of people in London in a week in 2007, including a tube driver, an arrogant literary critic, a trophy wife, and crucially, a city banker and an Islamic militant. The latter two are plotting destruction in different ways. As the story unfolds the characters' lives interweave - most are being invited to the same dinner party - and tension increases. Some characters are better defined than others but it is an interesting read.
