520 _aThe Warehouse is an original and contemporary novel set in Pakistan's dreaded Waziristan, on the borders of Afghanistan, a hotbed of crime, terrorism and harsh brutality. Syed Qais, a Karachi-based insurance adjuster, is sent out to Waziristan to survey a fire at a tobacco warehouse in the FATA tribal region. He is persuaded to go on this dangerous journey by an old flame -- Sonya. There is also money to be made, money he can use to help fund his daughter's education in Karachi. On his trip he encounters corrupt police, scurrilous locals and, eventually, the Taliban, who kidnap him. They hold him prisoner and make use of his computer skills. He meets Bilqis, a beautiful widow, and after a year of captivity, he and his fellow prisoners make a desperate attempt to escape
