In the mid-2000s, when Campbell was an undercover journalist in Syria, her fixer, a woman named Ahlam, was grabbed by the authorities and vanished. This searing account presents an unusual perspective on the horror of the police state — that of the outsider trying to navigate its treacherous shoals. It reads in equal parts as memoir, history and mystery story, with piercing imagery and flashes of humor, even in its darkest moments. NYT 15/9/2017
