The Iraqi Christ

This collection of stories explores the chaos of post-invasion Baghdad. A soldier with the ability to predict the future finds himself blackmailed by a suicide bomber into swapping places. A composer of crossword puzzles survives a car-bomb, only to find himself haunted by the spirit of one of its victims. A victim of looting flees armed robbers but falls into a deep hole, at the bottom of which sits a djinn, and the corpse of a Russian soldier from a completely different war.
