If this book makes me this angry and frustrated, I can't imagine how Bob's family feels. They have handled all of this with such grace and strength, I don't know if I could have done the same. I still hope this has a happy ending for them.
So bizarre to read about people I know, I think when most people read stories like this, they are moved and then put the book down and forget, or only remember if it's mentioned in the news. But these are real people who have no answers and cannot escape the nightmare.

A thriller of a read about Bob Levinson, a CIA contractor who went missing in 2007 after heading into Iran to meet with a secret contact. He remains missing to this day, presumably held by Iran or forces allied with the government, though Iran denies knowledge of his whereabouts or current condition. This book does not much new information for those who have followed the case closely, but it is a great summary and an easy read for espionage lovers who want to better understand the case.
