Bargained for Exchange — James Macomber

Legal suspense thriller with frighteningly strong parallels to todays terrorist situation. Its multiple plot lines, alternating between a southern U.S. college campus, a Middle Eastern terrorist organization infiltrating the same college campus, and deadly events on the other side of the world, result in a fast-paced story line in the style of Tom Clancy and Stephen Coonts. I found Macombers character development particularly memorable.
