When Elizabeth West's father dies in a tragic plane crash over the Persian Gulf, her family relocates to Washington, D.C., and later moves to London. Her mother marries a knighted British businessman with two children, and Elizabeth, along with her two sisters, moves in with their new family. At the age of sixteen, while attending the American School of London, Elizabeth meets Adil Hasan and falls in love with him. However, their relationship is challenged when Adil's father, a renowned arms middleman, is deported.
Lizzy's family becomes intertwined with Gerald Rene Wagner, a French-German industrialist. Unbeknownst to her, Adil's family also has connections to Wagner. Tragedy strikes when a member of her family is murdered in Berlin under mysterious circumstances, raising suspicions about Wagner's dealings. Elizabeth reevaluates her understanding of what happened to her father and embarks on a quest to reunite with her lost love, Adil, while also unraveling the secrets that surround her family.
Burning Distance takes place in the years preceding and following the first Gulf War, delving into family secrets, conflicting loyalties, contemporary history, and the shadowy realm of arms trafficking. This cross-cultural love story and political thriller blends elements of Jane Austen and John le Carré, offering a captivating and suspenseful narrative.
