In a tense and riveting narrative, 'The ISIS Hostage' details freelance photographer Daniel Rye's 13-month ordeal at the hands of Islamic State after he was captured in Syria and the misery inflicted upon him, and 19 other hostages, by the British guards, which included Jihadi John. This compelling account also follows Daniel's family and the nerve-wracking negotiations with his kidnappers. It traces their horrifying journey through impossible dilemmas and offers a rare glimpse into the secret world of the investigation launched to locate and free not only Daniel, but also the American freelance journalist and fellow hostage James Foley.
