Khan’s second novel
featuring Detective Esa Khattak. The action starts with the thoughts of a dying
man, Moshin Dar. His death at a terrorist training camp in Algonquin State Park
puts a Canadian security forces operation in jeopardy. Esa Khattak is brought
in to mollify Dar’s father, a vocal activist with a radio show and an axe to
grind.
Khattak is deliberately kept at the periphery of the investigation only told
that the dead man was an informant and that is what got him killed. Dar was a
friend of Esa’s and he wants justice done so he sends in his partner, Rachel to
infiltrate the mosque Dar attended. As Khattak and Rachel begin piecing together what
is really going on it becomes clear to Khattak that not only is he being used,
but the picture he is building up of his former friend isn’t the one he was
expecting and more personal than his masters at INSET could ever realize.
Some parts of the narrative
are loosely based on the true story of the ‘Toronto 18’ in 2006.
