Sex-mad expatriates, a ghost and a mermaid crowd the pages on an odyssey that includes a flying visit to the Middle East's most famous casino, in Lebanon, where he shows an oil company president how to win. There's a veteran foreign correspondent who fells a world heavyweight boxing champion and an assortment of characters: the good, the bad and the crooked.
From drunken diplomats to drunken journalists, Andrew Trimbee lifts the lid on life in a country where the Ruler shows a steel fist inside a velvet glove as he intervenes to save the newspaper after a dramatic showdown with directors.
There are lotharios and lesbians, a high seas murder, a two-fisted British prison warder, and the Bahrainis themselves, gentle and generous, who provide the backdrop for this revealing insight into a way of life largely gone, from the coffee ritual at the palace to the crafts of yesteryear.
Set in a time when the pace of life was slower, in a sheikhdom that today has its own Formula One racetrack, The Inshallah Paper is a non-stop roller-coaster ride through drama, pathos, humour and suspense in a desert island setting straight out of the Arabian Nights.
