A very tense mystery thriller. I enjoyed the setting and the unflinching depiction of modern day Pakistan. The identity of the villain mastermind was obvious, but the outworking of the tale was well done, including the realistically bitter-sweet ending.
What I really loved was the presentation of Karachi and the culture of Pakistan. The language and the food was all familiar, while at the same time the stark honesty of the story killed any desire to visit the part of the world where my Dad grew up.
