Holt, a diplomat, and Noah Crane, Israeli master-sniper, plan to walk by night into the dangerous Beqa'a Valley, where capture by the Syrian Army results in torture and death.

Persevered
I have read everything he has written when published and have noticed the change over the decades. This story is enjoyable buy the book overall is a polemic. If you can tolerate this I recommend it. Narration is good.

Unrelenting tension
One of Seymour's best.
A word about the narration. Would have been excellent, if listening in a silent room. But I like to listen in the car, and I couldn't hear it a lot of the time. Frequently descends to a whisper.

A good vehicle for Colin Mace if not too exciting
Colin Mace is such an easy listen. Not too exciting a story but to keep Colin in my ears it went fine and far quicker than I imagined.
I started audible with Coin Mace and still my first choice in my wishlist
