The happiest people in the world

"Take the format of a spy thriller, shape it around real-life incidents involving international terrorism, leaven it with dark, dry humor, toss in a love rectangle, give everybody a gun, and let everything play out in the outer reaches of upstate New York [where a Danish cartoonist is relocated after having been involved in the controversy surrounding a depiction of Muhammad]"--Amazon.com. The people of Denmark are "the happiest people in the world" -- theoretically. When some Danish political cartoonists attempt to depict Muhammad in their drawings, it prompts protests, arson, and even assassination attempts. One of those cartoonists, given protection through the CIA, is relocated to a small town in upstate New York where he is given a job as a high school guidance counselor.
