The daring theft of highly enriched uranium by religious fanatics forces Gideon’s team to partner with an unlikely ally: a beautiful, blind, Persian computer genius named Alaleh Koyunlu. On the run from both the intelligence agencies who think she orchestrated the theft and the terrorists who set her up to take the fall, she leads the team on a world-wide hunt for the missing material. With the clock ticking and millions of lives on the line, they’ll stop at nothing to bring down their prey.

“Great music is a part of our heritage as Arkansans,” said Karen Covey, who is organizing the event for the library. “Of all the great musicians who’ve come from Arkansas, the one who’s probably had the most impact and touched the most people is Johnny Cash. This is our tribute to the Man in Black.”
