New York Times bestselling author Michael Gruber, a member
of "the elite ranks of those who can both chill the blood
and challenge the mind" (The Denver Post), delivers a taut,
multilayered, riveting novel of suspense Somewhere in Pakistan, Sonia Laghari and eight fellow
members of a symposium on peace are being held captive by
armed terrorists. Sonia, a deeply religious woman as well as
a Jungian psychologist, has become the de facto leader of
the kidnapped group. While her son Theo, an ex-Delta
soldier, uses his military connections to find and free the
victims, Sonia tries to keep them all alive by working her
way into the kidnappers' psyches and interpreting their
dreams. With her knowledge of their language, her
familiarity with their religion, and her Jungian training,
Sonia confounds her captors with her insights and beliefs.
Meanwhile, when the kidnappers decide to kill their
captives, one by one, in retaliation for perceived crimes
against their country, Theo races against the clock to try
and save their lives.
