Acknowledgements

With many thanks to the people who helped me when I was researching this book, particularly the Saudis who offered me advice about and insight into a culture that is very different from my own. Riyadh is a complex and continually changing city. I hope the inhabitants will forgive me for the changes I have made to its geography. I’d also like to thank Teresa Chris for her support and encouragement, Eileen Fauset for reading the manuscript and my editors Julia Wisdom and Anne O’Brien.

And of course, as always, Ken.
