If I had known beyond what the synopsis said, I might not have picked it up but I'm glad I did. Had me on the edge of my seat and I finished it really quickly. Not a book to read before bed, and check the content warnings.
Graphic: Gun violence and Violence
Moderate: Death, Racism, Xenophobia, Blood, Islamophobia, and Religious bigotry
Minor: Suicidal thoughts
It turns fast. It's not detailed, but it is extremely clear what it happening.
