About this listen

After years lost inside the U.S. detention system, Nadim Mansour emerges in the borderlands of South America — a place where identities shift, money disappears, and trust is a currency more dangerous than cash. As he tries to rebuild a life under a new name, Nadim is pulled into the criminal web of Barakat, a powerful hawaladar with ties to the network that destroyed his family.

But Nadim isn’t the only ghost moving through the region.

Miriam, his estranged wife — and a Mossad asset — has also arrived, tracking the same network from the shadows. When their paths collide at a small airport near the triple frontier, a split-second warning sets off a chain of events neither can control.

Episode 2 dives deeper into the border’s criminal ecosystem, revealing the first cracks of a global financial storm — and the moment Nadim realizes escape may no longer be possible.

This story is based on the novel Hawala, available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4N9NRMK
