A mother: captured by jihadis and held in the mountain fastness of North West Pakistan. With a long-standing fatwah hanging over her, her execution is a certainty. She knows she can't out-fight her captors, but can she out-think them? The only question is how many days does she have to live? A son: once a child warrior in the mujhadeen's struggle against the Soviets, once a Delta Force soldier, now a covert operative in the USA's secret War Against Terror in Pakistan. His name is legend among the tribes of Pashtun. He will stop at nothing to protect his mother. Whatever the cost... even if it means engulfing the world in flames. But he's not the only one with a plan. From the corridors of Washington to the backstreets of Lahore, The Good Son tackles the clash of Islam and the West head on, mixing NSA, CIA and jihadi tradecraft with Islamic theology and Sufi mysticism to present a provocative take on the War on Terror.
