From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Talk about "ripped from today's headlines"—this exciting and moving audio version of a veteran Baltimore Sun foreign correspondent's incredibly timely thriller still has hot ink and sound bytes emanating from it. Although Fesperman set his book at Guantánamo in 2003 after spending some time there, and presumably finished it months before the current outrage about the former military base now serving as a holding unit for suspected terrorists, it reads and sounds—thanks to a cool, ironic and subtly impassioned performance by Colacci—like an Internet news feed. A very young Yemeni prisoner disappears, other prisoners kill themselves and brutal examiners justify their extreme behavior by scoffing at the Geneva Conventions. Colacci brings a large cast to life, starting with FBI interrogator and Arabic speaker Revere Falk, and manages to make Falk's so-called friends and security colleagues as equivocal as they come without breaking a sweat. Even the Cubans—who play a surprising role in the story—come across as a varied group. The only problem with playing this in a car is listeners might think they've turned on NPR by mistake.

From Booklist
In this alleged thriller, the fourth novel by Baltimore Sun journalist Fesperman, the excitement is strictly cerebral. Arabic-speaking FBI special agent Revere Falk is working as an interrogator at the highly secretive government prison located in the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, aka "Gitmo." His latest assignment is a young Yemeni prisoner who is suspected of having valuable information about al-Qaeda activities. In the midst of his interrogation efforts, he is pulled away to assist in the investigation of the death of an American soldier whose body has washed ashore onto Cuban territory. As he begins his investigation, Revere finds himself stymied from all sides, and a secret from his past returns to threaten him. Although the insider's view of the Gitmo prison base is engaging, the stock characters (including the usual backbiting government bureaucrats and arrogant military officers) along with a confusing, lackluster plot do not contribute too much of an exciting read. But expect demands based on publicity. Michael Gannon
