面对金 In the Face of Jinn

作者简介：
　　Cheryl Howard Crew is married to director Ron Howard. They have raised their four children in Los Angeles and Connecticut, and currently reside in Armonk, New York. In the Face of Jinn is Crew's first novel. 

Two American sisters, Christine and Elizabeth Shepherd, are on a silk-buying trip in India for their business in California. After Elizabeth mysteriously disappears, Christine challenges the ineffectual U.S. and Indian bureaucracies and ventures alone, with various strangers as guides, to find her sister. Disguised in the traditional female garb of some Islamic cultures, Christine continues her search in Afghanistan and Pakistan. She navigates the mysterious tribes of the Pashtuns, has a dangerous encounter with the Taliban, and learns to fear the Jinn, the devils that dominate the superstitions of the people she must understand to survive. Inspired by her own extensive travel, Cheryl Howard Crew has written an unforgettable story with a strong determined heroine.
