Charles Reed, a Christian missionary in Saudi Arabia, is brutally tortured and murdered by the Muttawah - the Saudi religious police. They also abuse his wife and frame the couple; accusing them of being at the head of a ring of cocaine dealers who are using their network of underground churches to distribute the drug. Sara escapes and is extradited to the United States. There she obtains the young Brad Carlson as her the legal council. Before long, Carlson finds himself embroiled in a legal battle that will threaten the very fabric of US foreign relations in the middle east. And, it causes divisions in his own practice. Leading him to wonder who he can really trust...
I throughly enjoyed this novel. It was full of twists and turns, and kept me guessing until the end. It was the first one I've read by Singer & I'm glad I found him. He's written a number of other legal dramas. That's one of my favorite genres, so I'll be sure to add some more of his works to my list.
