The Prodigal Sparrow — Cade Jay Hathaway

In 2004 an American scholar-turned-English teacher, David Taylor, is kidnapped by the ruthless Kim Jong-il regime and spirited away to North Korea. Over a decade later, the CIA discovers the location of the missing American and mounts a rescue operation that will take Johnnie Allen directly into harm's way. As fate would have it, Johnnie is an exact doppelganger of the missing American, and as events on the world stage are set into motion there will be no turning back.
