Provocative journalist Jack Feltham is horrified when he learns that a British soldier      killed in Iraq had been inspired to enlist by his pro-war columns and even more horrified when that same soldier appears in his living room, dripping blood all over his carpet and asking for a hug. But Jack has even bigger problems on his plate. A young Muslim man has been brutally attacked at a London mosque and once again it’s being blamed on something Jack wrote.
