But when a hit-and-run driver kills the son of the family's servant, Sadiq, who is also Aliya's dear friend, her world is turned upside down. After she discovers the truth behind the tragedy--a terrible secret that burdens her heart--her conflicted loyalties are tested as never before.</p><p>Based on the author's own experiences growing up in Islamabad, <i>City of Spies</i> offers a poignant and dramatic portrait of a tumultuous time, as seen through the eyes of a brave and compassionate young heroine struggling to find her place in the gray area between loyalty and complicity, family and country.</p><p><b>Revised edition: This edition of <i>City of Spies</i> includes editorial revisions.</b></p>
