'When a diver's goin to the depths, he has to go slowly. On the way down he stops for a minute or two, treads water. Lets his body get used to the conditions. That's what Amman is for contractors. After Iraq. And before. We tread water.'
 
When a private contractor goes missing in Iraq, one man embarks upon a hunt across the post-war Middle East.
