What to expect
Despite her PTSD, seasoned photojournalist Annie Hawkins heads back to Afghanistan. The Taliban’s takeover of the country is the story of the decade, and Annie is determined to cover it. She’s also desperate to keep an eye on her twenty-two-year-old daughter Mel, whose first job out of college has taken her to Kabul.
The very air of the city is heavy with fear as the Taliban draw closer. The danger becomes even more personal for Annie when she discovers her daughter at the airport after a bombing. Then, her activist friends Bahar and Fatima face arrest and probable death sentences for their work in support of women and the coalition forces. When she tries to help them escape, Annie realizes that she’s in the crosshairs, too. With her longtime love Admiral Finn Cerelli in Washington, DC, Annie has to rely on her crew’s Afghan fixer and her own wits to save as many lives as possible.
Critics Review
“A stunning novel…Heart-pounding action paired with tender storytelling. Beautifully wrought and unputdownable, The Rule of Thirds earns five heartfelt stars!”
“Annie Hawkins is every writer’s dream character: tough as nails, badass extraordinaire, riddled with guilt, and filled with love for her daughter and the man she adores.”
“The Rule of Thirds, the final book in Jeannée Sacken’s powerful Afghanistan trilogy, is a gripping, immersive, vividly rendered story that has everything a reader could want—complex and deeply human characters, a richly drawn story world, and a riveting plot.”
“The Rule of Thirds hits you hard with the full pain, humanity, and useless destruction of war. The novel is fraught with edge-of-your-seat drama and written with the cultural sensitivity and depth of research a reader expects from the author, Jeannée Sacken.”
