In the aftermath of 9/11, lecturer Emily Cowan, called back into government service, revisits her past. Gathering intelligence as her own search for ethnic identity unfolds, Emily returns to the greatest game of all, as hidden in a desolate cave in the Afghan mountains is the reason the fight against terrorism must continue.

“Circle Around The Sun” marks the fictional debut of Emily Cowan, a charismatic and often highly deviant legend in the making. With biting wit, candor and firsthand knowledge of her subject, M. D. Johnson has created a spy thriller masterpiece with a brilliant cast of characters.
