Catch-22 on speed and set in the Middle East, Vulture is a fast-paced satire of the war news industry and its moral blind spots, and a tragi-comic coming-of-age novel.

An ambitious young journalist, Sara is sent to cover a war from the Beach Hotel in Gaza, a global hub with hotel staff catering tirelessly to the needs of the world''s media, even as their own homes and family are under threat. Sara will stop at nothing to prove herself, even if it means bringing disaster upon those around her.
