Featured at the Page 69 Test: Istanbul Crossing by Timothy Jay Smith.

About the book, from the publisher:
In this coming-of-age literary thriller, Ahdaf, a gay Syrian refugee, after watching his cousin executed by ISIS for being homosexual, flees to Istanbul for safety.

He becomes a smuggler of refugees to Greece and develops such a good reputation that he’s approached by both the CIA and ISIS to smuggle high-profile individuals in both directions between Turkey and Greece.

In the process of juggling their two operations, he falls in love with, and must decide between, two men who offer different futures.
