From Ausma Zehanat Khan, the critically acclaimed writer of The Unquiet Deceased and The Language of Secrets, comes Among the Ruins, another powerful audiobook checking out the interplay of politics and religious beliefs and the intensely personal ripple ramifications of one woman's murder. On leave from Canada's Community Policing section, Esa Khattak is visiting in Iran, reconnecting along with his cultural traditions and seeking tranquility in the country's beautiful mosques and backyards. But Khattak's supposed respite from work is cut brief when he's approached with a Canadian administration agent in Iran, asking him to check out the loss of life of renowned Canadian-Iranian filmmaker Zahra Sobhani. Zahra was murdered at Iran's notorious Evin jail, where she'd been seeking the discharge of an well-known political prisoner. Khattak quickly locates himself embroiled in Iran's tumultuous politics and under security by the routine, however when the path leads back again to Zahra's family in Canada, Khattak telephone calls on his spouse, detective Rachel Getty, for help. Rachel uncovers a conspiracy linked to the Shah of Iran and the decades-old murders of several Iran's most famous dissidents. Historic words, a link with the Royal Ontario Museum, and a smuggling operation on the Caspian Sea are are just some of the threads Rachel and Khattak begin unraveling as the list of suspects stretches from Tehran to Toronto. But as Khattak gets swept up in the fate of Iran's political prisoners, Rachel recognizes through to the heart of the matter: Zahra's murder might not have been a political crime in any way.
