Why fear a bad memory when your instinct kicks in at the most relevant opportunities

We first see Zahirah Abdullah as Chickenwoman, donning a chicken-suit and harassing lawyers until they respond to her employers' unreturned phone calls. She can't remember anything from more than four months earlier, but slowly, terrifyingly her memory returns. And so does Mr. Wilson, the terrorist who understands that a few thousand deaths count for nothing if they hasten the apocalyptical last days. All he requires of Zahirah is that she kill one person, but it's not quite that simple. Is Bad Memory the true and terrifyingly funny memoir of a killer-for-hire, whose knowledge of the secrets of international terrorism give her the life expectancy of a mayfly? Is it a chillingly, comical achingly romantic roman á clef that will reveal a Pandora's box of secrets? Or is it merely one of the most original, exciting, and thought-provoking thrillers in years? By the end of a page-turning sleepless night, you will care and care deeply.
