Punishment by Linden MacIntyre
5.0
MacIntyre's best book yet.
Draws interesting and unexpected parallels between the 2003 Iraq war, the infighting in small towns that often leads to outsiders being scapegoated, and the costs of being perceived as a bureaucratic whistleblower or prison rat.
His experience of hosting Canada's best investigative journalism TV program for twenty-four years pays off with his understanding of all the ways humans are fallible. Like a Jim Thompson novel set in Cape Breton.
