Every reporter knows never to betray a source. But what if your source betrays you?

Join us as we welcome Shiv Malik to hear about one of the most fascinating, yet unlikely, friendships between a repentant jihadist and an idealistic journalist. Malik’s troubling real-life thriller takes us from their first meeting in a spartan flat in the rough suburbs of Manchester, to a bombing in Pakistan, a dramatic arrest, and a reporting career on the brink of ruin.

Having overcome numerous obstacles to get this book published, Malik brings us an extraordinary tale that reveals how the age of terror has laid the groundwork for an era of fake news and demagogues. Malik will be in conversation with journalist Maeve McClenaghan.

This event will include an audience Q&A and book signing.
