Plot Summary:
On January 23, 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl is to fly
from Karachi to Dubai with his pregnant wife, Mariane, also a reporter.
On the day before, with great care, he has arranged an interview in a
café with an Islamic fundamentalist cleric. When Danny doesn't return,
Mariane initiates a search. Pakistani police, American embassy
personnel, and the FBI examine witnesses, phone records, e-mails, and
hard drives. Who has him? Where is he? There's also the why: because of
U.S. abuse of prisoners at Guantanamo, because of a history of Journal
cooperation with the CIA, because Pearl is a Jew? Through it all,
Mariane is clearheaded, direct, and determined.
