註釋

DAMASCUS STREET tugs the reader inside the dangerous world of the Levant during the 2006 war between Hisbollah and the Israeli defense force, and ends just before the start of the long and bloody international challenge to the dictatorship of Bashar Al-Assad. The story, begun in Cathy Sultan's first thriller THE SYRIAN, continues with the kidnapping of Nadia Khoury, a beautiful UN official, and the near fatal beating of her American fiancée, Dr. Andrew Sullivan. The couple, so cruelly separated, discover new passions and strengths, ones not always to their liking, in their attempts to survive. The twisting and turning of expectations and consequences brilliantly mirrors the microcosmic and macrocosmic nature of the region, showing through fiction what the author, a well-known Middle East expert, knows deep in her soul-that there can be no innocence in this ancient place.
