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.

I am a big fan of Michael Gruber and have loved all his books to date, but this one is very different. Maybe it's the subject, kidnapping in the Middle East, which puts me off, but I don't think so. It seems like I just can't connect with the characters, and it is just barely interesting enough to me to keep me reading. But I can't say I actually care how it ends. I hope Gruber returns to the fascinating subject matter and characters of his previous novels.
