Fiction by Ann Patchett
A small and unimportant country in South America wants to attract foreign investors, and so they plan a party to honor the fifty-third birthday of Japanese businessman Mr. Hosokawa. To ensure the attendance of the guest of honor and his rich influential friends, they hire Mr. Hosokawa's favorite opera singer Roxanne Cass to give a private recital. Thus the room is filled with important people when armed terrorists appear and a hostage situation begins.
This was a really good story; it really made you think about the characters.
