One Of Us (Paperback)


Anna is one of the invisible people. She fled her own country when the police murdered her brother and her father, and now she serves your food, cleans your table, changes your bed, and keeps the secrets of her past well hidden.
When she used her medical school experience to treat a man with a gunshot wound, Anna thought it would be a way to a better life. Instead, it leads to a world of people trafficking, prostitution, murder and the biggest decision of Anna's life: how much is she prepared to give up to be one of us?
Shortlisted for the UK Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger award, "One of Us" is a novel by award-winning writer Iain Rowan.
Praise for Iain Rowan's "Nowhere To Go":
"fine examples of modern crime stories, gripping and perceptive, probing the dark secrets of the human soul, just like an old Alfred Hitchcock movie... Crime enthusiasts must not miss the book: this is noir at its very best." -- "SF Site" featured review
"During the five years that I published Hardluck Stories, One Step Closer and Moth were two of my favorite stories. I loved the nuances and true heartfelt emotion that Iain filled his stories with, and Iain quickly became a must read author for me--everything I read of Iain's had this tragic, and sometimes, horrific beauty filling it, and was guaranteed to be something special." -- Dave Zeltserman, author of "Outsourced," and "Washington Post" best books of year "Small Crimes" and "Pariah"
"A short story writer of the highest calibre." -- Allan Guthrie, author of Top Ten Kindle Bestseller "Bye Bye Baby," winner of Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year
"Iain Rowan's stories never fail to surprise and delight, and just when you think you know what will happen next, you realize how much you've been caught unaware." -- Sarah Weinman, writer, critic, reviewer, columnist for the "Los Angeles Times" and News Editor for "Publishers Marketplace"
"Iain Rowan is both a meticulous and a passionate writer, and these stories showcase his ample talent wonderfully well. You owe it to yourself to discover Rowan's fiction if you haven't already had the pleasure." -- Jeff Vandermeer, author of "Finch," "Shriek: An Afterword," "City of Saints and Madmen"; two-time winner of the World Fantasy Award
"Every story in this collection is a gem... classy and clever Brit Grit at its best." -- Paul D Brazill, "Death By Killing"
