THE CONTRACTOR is the first
novel to address the issue of
American secret prisons in the war
on terror. It captures the terrifying
strains between politics, public
service and private life.
This novel dramatizes the deals
one negotiates with oneself and
others: the human contract.
The story of Cain and Abel.
