SHELTER FROM THE STORM by MICHAEL MEWSHAW
|
SummaryZack McClintock, an over-the-hill "security consultant,"
knows he isn't up to traveling to Central Asia in search of
his kidnapped son-in-law. A group claiming to be Islamic
fundamentalists has first demanded a million-dollar ransom,
then suddenly offered to free the son-in-law if a deranged
and feral local child, fallen into the hands of an American
woman, is flown to the United States. Zack finds himself in
a country teetering on the edge of anarchy, wracked by
tribal and sectarian violence, but even he is surprised by
how quickly things come apart. Threatened on all sides by
deceit, betrayal, and random violence, Zack discovers that
the greatest jeopardy originates in the human heart as he
tries to understand whether he's being confronted with a
last chance at salvation or just another enormous loss. Shelter from the Storm is storytelling at its best. The
timely plot, taut writing, and powerful characters make it
a rare achievement.
