520 $aWhen shots ring out on the Grand Trunk Road in the fictional Pakistani city of Zamara, Nargis’s life begins to crumble around her. Soon her husband--and fellow architect--is dead and, under threat from a powerful military intelligence officer, she fears that a long- hidden truth about her past will be exposed. For weeks someone has been broadcasting people’s secrets from the minaret of the local mosque, and, in a country where even the accusation of blasphemy is acurrency to be bartered, the mysterious broadcasts have struck fear in Christians and Muslims alike.--$cBack cover.
