When his father is kidnapped and held for ransom by ISIS gunmen in Syria, he takes matters into his own hands and begins to steal the only currency he has access to: secret government intelligence. He heads to Beirut with a haul of the most sensitive documents imaginable and recruits an unlikely ally -- an alcoholic Swiss priest named Father Tobias. Despite barely surviving his previous contact with ISIS, Tobias agrees to travel into the heart of the Islamic State and inform the kidnappers that Jonas is willing to negotiate for his father's life. When the British and American governments realize they may be dealing with betrayal on a scale far greater than that of Edward Snowden, they try everything in their power to stop Jonas, and he finds himself tested to the limit as he fights to keep the negotiations alive and play his enemies off against each other. As events race towards a confrontation with the kidnappers, Jonas is forced to decide how far he is willing to go to see his father again. 610 20 $a Islamic State Khorasan Province (Organization) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Intelligence officers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Kidnapping $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Terrorists $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Syria $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Spy fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230208014802.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210629010337.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D88AB3CD89F11EB81BA7E5E52ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
