An unforgettable and gripping book from an internationally acclaimed author. Ten years ago, nine-year-old Freda walked into an underground restaurant and straight into a hostage situation. Those thirty-six hours still haunt her every move. But was she just an innocent victim manipulated by the one stranger who showed her any kindness - the gunman? A newspaper reporter is starting to pry. He says he knows things about that night. Freda must start revealing and dealing with her burden of survival. This gripping thriller grabs listeners' attention from the first introspective moments through to the explosive ending. Praise for Bolinda Audio's edition of The Song of an Innocent Bystander: "This is a stunning book, given a full-voiced narration by Caroline Lee ... which captures perfectly the young Freda as well as Freda's parents, Theo's Greek nuances, O'Grady's ranting, and the other hostages' terror." - Kliatt
