OrangeReviewStarMiller gives listeners a second novel worthy of his celebrated first (Norwegian by Night). In 1991 Iraq, British journalist Thomas Benton and American soldier Arwood Hobbs tried in vain to protect a young girl from a sadistic Iraqi army colonel and have lived with that guilt for 22 years—until they see the same girl on television. Thus begins a quest for answers, with Benton and Arwood's journey masterfully woven into a complex and compelling tale of revenge, political infighting, humanitarian endeavors, and international politics.
VERDICT The writing here is superb, as are narrator Will Damron's emotional inflections. Highly recommended. ["Not to be missed…a compelling combination of literate storytelling and action-packed thriller, laced with humor"; LJ 12/16 starred review of the Harcourt hc.]
