La caccia ad Osama Bin Laden è stata la missione che più ha impegnato l’America contemporanea, nel corso di un decennio abbondante e di due mandati presidenziali, e che più l’ha esposta, in termini di promesse e vendette, all’interno dei suoi confini e al cospetto del mondo intero. Questa è la storia di Maya, giovane ufficiale della CIA, armata d’intuito e di una determinazione dura a morire, che non si è lasciata fermare dai giochi di potere né dalle indecisioni o dallo scetticismo dei superiori ed è riuscita nell’impresa storica di trovare l’ago che pareva svanito nel nulla all’interno di uno dei pagliai più fitti, complessi e lontani dagli uffici di Washington che si potessero immaginare.
