Aaron and AhmedPaperback, 1 May 2012

After his fiance dies during 9/11, the question plagues Aaron Goodman. It makes him give up his career as a doctor to become an interrogator / torturer at Guantanamo Bay. And yet, he's still no less obsessed. He begins overseeing experiments with how meme theory might program people into becoming suicide bombers. (Could there be a science behind terrorism?) Still nothing. Until he meets Ahmed, a Gitmo prisoner, who might know how the jihadists in fact are using a variation of meme theory in their camps.

To finally learn the truth, Aaron and Ahmed's search will take them from Gitmo to the jihadist camps in the Madrassas right back to Ground Zero in New York. But who is Aaron's new compatriot Ahmed actually loyal to, and will Aaron's exploration into terrorist camps make him as much of a threat as those he's protecting his country against
