Beslan novel Black Widow to be translated.

In good news for those who have been following the success of the Beslan novel, Black Widow, the publishers, Scribe, say that translations are being negotiated. The first one appears likely to be a Polish translation followed, possibly by Slovenian. It is to be expected that German and French will soon follow and (hopefully) Arabic, inshallah! Although this novel is fiction it comes closer to the true story of what happened at Beslan than anything I have read. If you want to look behind the Putin spin - or simply want to read a stunning political thriller - this is a great book. I wouldn't mind betting it gets snapped up for a film sometime soon.
