The Godless Boys

Handlingen i De gudløse er lagt til vår nære fortid, på en fiktiv øy. I England har religiøs ekstremisme ført til at landet er kontrollert og styrt av Kirken, mens alle medlemmer av Sekulærbevegelsen er blitt forvist til Øya. Der er all religionsutøvelse forbudt, og en fanatisk guttegjeng overvåker samfunnet, på jakt etter troende som de kan terrorisere. Når en engelsk jente ankommer Øya for å finne sin mor, som forsvant sporløst for ti år siden, blir hun raskt en brikke i guttegjengens nådeløse spill om makt, kontroll og kjærlighet. De gudløse er både en thriller og en svært tidsaktuell fabel om ekstremisme og makt. «En gripende, velskrevet fortelling.» -The Observer
