Welcome to my website - I
am a British author and journalist, based in Budapest. I started
work as a foreign correspondent in 1991, covering the collapse
of Communism and the Yugoslav wars. I've written eight books, worked in more than 30
countries, enjoyed some hair-raising adventures along the way,
and now report on Central Europe for The Times and Monocle magazine.
As a budding novelist and literary critic, I review thrillers
and crime novels for the Economist, and non-fiction for
the Sunday Times, Literary Review and the
Jewish Chronicle. In the US I contribute to the New York Times and
Conde Nast Traveler. On the web I write for Comment is Free, The First Post, Harry’s
Place and More Intelligent Life.
My first novel, The Budapest Protocol, is published by Reportage Press. It's a conspiracy thriller set during the election campaign for the first president of Europe. The Budapest Protocol is fiction but was inspired by fact - a 1944 US intelligence document known as the Red House Report that revealed the secret Nazi plans for the Fourth Reich. Read more in The Mail on Sunday and The Times. The Budapest Protocol is getting some great reviews and will soon be published in Hungarian, Romanian, Serbian and Portuguese.

My latest non-fiction work is a psychological investigation into the Madoff fraud. The Believers: How America Fell for Bernard Madoff's $65 billion Investment Scam steps inside Madoff's world, from the salons of Manhattan to the luxurious country clubs of Palm Beach. By focusing on the psychology of the fraud, the book reveals how some of the richest and most sophisticated investors in America could fall victim to a collective delusion for decades. Read more in The Times. The Believers will be published in
the US in January 2010.
City
of Oranges, my book about Israel and Palestine, tells the true story of six families in Jaffa, three Jewish and three Arab. It has been critically acclaimed by The Times, The Guardian, the Jerusalem Post and Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, among others, and was shortlisted for the 2007 Jewish Quarterly Wingate Prize. The US edition, published by WW Norton in May 2007, was an Editor's Choice in the New York Times.
Complicity With
Evil, published in the UK and US by Yale University Press, investigates the UN's actions in Rwanda, Srebrenica and Darfur, and focuses on the role of UN officials. Complicity with Evil was selected as an "outstanding" title by the American Association of University Presses.
My other books
include A Heart Turned East, a journey
among Muslim minorities in the West; a critically acclaimed biography
of Slobodan Milosevic, and the best-selling
Hitler's Secret Bankers,
which was published in seven languages and short-listed for the
Orwell Prize.
