Come What May by Ahmed Masoud

How does one investigate murder in the middle of a war zone? Does it matter if a person is killed by an airstrike or a knife?

When Zahra’s husband, Ammar Bseiso, is killed in 2014 he is written off as one of the two thousand or so casualties of war. However, his thirty-five-year-old wife is convinced that her husband was murdered by a fellow Palestinian and not an Israeli airstrike. She spends two years looking for a detective who would agree to take on her case as people dismiss and ridicule her.

Come What May is a novel about love, betrayal and class issues in a conservative society which is very isolated from the rest of the world.
