I've been reading this one slowly and haven't finished yet. It starts to shift a little around 70 percent.

The story is based on a real embassy hostage crisis that happened in South America in the mid-90s. I don't know how closely it follows the real event. I don't plan to read up on that for comparison until after I finish the book so that it doesn't reveal any spoilers!

Thanks for stopping by the thread, Caleb! Nice to see your input. I almost didn't nominate this book because I couldn't find an ebook version for Australia and didn't know how hard it would be to find a paper copy. I guess I didn't need to worry about that based on the turnout in this thread. Funny.
