Captive

The Amazon.com Breakthrough Novel Award Semifinalist, Megan Lisa Jones, talks about her book about Khalil, an Al Qaeda operative being held in American captivity after being seized evaluating the location for a possible bombing in London. George, a psychology professor on leave to work as an interrogator, is charged with extracting any information Khalil may know. Meanwhile Omar, a graduate student in Los Angeles, is painstakingly planning a series of bombs to detonate across the United States. Khalil was to lead this mission; but his disappearance doesn't slow down the plot. George senses that Khalil is hiding important information but struggles to make him disclose much.
