A young man had gone missing in Syria. No government, embassy, or intelligence agency would help. Could he? Would he? So begins a suspenseful, shocking, and at times brutal true story of one man's search to find a miss­ing person in Syria over twenty tense days. Levin, a lawyer turned armed-conflict negotia­tor, chases leads throughout the Middle East, meeting with powerful sheikhs, drug lords, and sex traffickers in his pursuit of the truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eProof of Life\u003c\/i\u003e, Levin dives deep into the shadows--an underground industry of war where everything is for sale, including arms, drugs, and even people. He offers a fasci­nating study of how people use leverage to get what they want from one another and of a place where no one does a favor without wanting something in return, whether it's immediately or years down the road. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A fast-paced thriller wrapped in a memoir, \u003ci\u003eProof of Life\u003c\/i\u003e is a cinematic must-read by an author with access to a world that usually remains hidden. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9.1 x 5.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 18, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49170279760024,"sku":"9781643750989","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/UEZtOG1aTFJoRHVpRExUNnp2dFYzdz09.webp?v=1779868452","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/proof-of-life-twenty-days-on-the-hunt-for-a-missing-person-in-the-middle-east-hardcover","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
