The Amateur Spy recasts the spy novel for the post-9/11
world--anyone might be watching, everyone is suspect.
Freeman Lockhart, a humanitarian aid worker and his Bosnian wife
have just retired to a charming house on a Greek island. On their
first night, violent intruders blackmail Freeman into spying on an
old Palestinian friend living in Jordan. Meanwhile, in Washington,
D.C., a Palestinian-American named Aliyah Rahim is worried about
her husband, who blames their daughter's death on the U.S.
anti-terror policies. Aliyah learns that he is plotting a
cataclysmic act of revenge; in a desperate effort to stop him, she
flies to Jordan to meet her husband's co-conspirators. There she
encounters Freeman neck-deep in his own investigation. As their
paths intertwine, the story rises to its fast-paced, explosive
climax.
