Dead Boy Walking — David Brining

When Iraqi teenager Ali Al-Amin's parents are killed in a Baghdad market by a terrorist bomb, he is recruited from his orphanage by Arab Intelligence to infiltrate a school for suicide bombers in Syria. Turned into a human bomb, a dead boy walking, Ali is sent to Jordan with a mission to kill the Crown Prince and 3000 people by releasing sarin nerve gas at the Jerash Arts Festival. Face to face with his own death, and the horrific mastermind Moustapha Al-Sekem, Ali has just three days to save himself, his fellow Muslims and the world, from the jihadists.
