An Accidental Terrorist is an engrossing literary thriller set on the breathtakingly beautiful south coast of New South Wales.

The very topical issues of terrorism and environmental activism act as a backdrop for this dramatic story of self-discovery. Through the unlikely relationship between Kelvin, a former runaway, and Jessica, a lawyer, we see the complexity of the political/environmental debate. As the couple struggle to make sense of life-changing events and the consequences of their actions, deep in these southern forests, the story builds to a tragic climax.
