Started it a few days ago, not the world's best written book but very dark and disturbing.
Centers around a 15 year old boy Khalid, who is kidnapped in Pakistan whilst visiting relatives.
Sharply observed and well worth a read

I bought that a few weeks ago, but haven't had chance to read it yet. Think I'll have to go and dig it out later.
