I loved this book. All Sara’s thrillers are dark and riveting. This might be my favorite, but it’s too hard to choose.

Quotes by Jenifer Ruff (?)

“Extremists believe they’re doing the will of Allah and if they do their part they will be rewarded with a lifetime in paradise. Recruits are conditioned and brainwashed to believe this. Unfortunately, ISIS is extremely successful in this regard. They’re a powerful recruiting machine. They spend millions on propaganda, very effective propaganda, and it’s all over the internet.”

“And let’s remember that those charged with protecting us from attack have to be right 100 percent of the time. To inflict devastation on a massive scale, the terrorists only have to succeed once. And we know that they are trying every day.” —National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice - Statement to the 9/11 Commission, April 8th, 2004.”
