In The Skin Of A Jihadist
by Anna Erelle

Inside Islamic State's Recruitment Networks

When Anna Erelle, a young journalist, goes undercover online to discover how today's most ruthless terrorists use social media to recruit disaffected young women, her investigation spins into a harrowing nightmare.

Erelle creates 'Mélodie' - a twenty-year-old convert to Islam on Facebook - who is immediately Skyped by a man named Bilel, in Syria. Bilel offers Mélodie a way to fill the void in her life: he cares about her, offers material comfort, spiritual purpose and, in less than forty-eight hours, promises true love, marriage and an idyllic life. Bilel's seduction is honey-tongued and forceful - and all Mélodie must do is join him and ISIS in their Syrian jihad. Every day he offers more detail, telling her how he drives a jeep filled with guns and bottles of the chocolate milk he loves for hundreds of miles on murderous missions of execution. Every night he lures, seduces and manipulates this vulnerable young woman.

In her intense, month-long relationship with Bilel, Mélodie suddenly finds herself 'married' to a terrorist, who transpires to be the French right-hand man of the most dangerous militant in the world, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Caliph of Islamic State.

With Bilel impatient for his 'wife', Anna - as Mélodie - must embark on a perilous journey to the Middle East which will test both her courage and her power to resist Bilel. This riveting page-turner is a shocking
inquiry into how technology is spreading radicalism, the lure of ISIS propaganda, and the factors that motivate young people - including many British teenagers - to join extremist wars in Syria and elsewhere.

Anna Erelle was investigating, on behalf of a desperate mother, the disappearance of a Belgian teenage girl who had flown to Syria when she decided to adopt a pseudonym and see for herself what the online world of jihad was like. A young female journalist, she is still under threat today and cannot reveal her true identity.
