Summary

"Photojournalist Nicky Bettencourt thinks he's seen everything until he teams up with the daring and shrewd war correspondent Daniel McFarland. Daniel has refined his metier down to an art: He knows how to get information out of officials who won't talk. He knows how to judge the gravity of a situation in a war-torn area (it's a bad sign when the dogs are gone). He knows how to get to the heart of a story and emerge unscathed. To Daniel, getting the story is getting everything.
And now, for Nicky, that means going along for the ride in some terrifying territory.".
"But after a plane crash nearly takes his life, Daniel is undone. The steely reporter has his first serious moment of reckoning with his lack of faith and his cavalier approach to life. Alongside Julia Cadell, an idealistic doctor, he begins to see those moments of disaster and tragedy anew, and the two seek refuge from their perilous lives in an old canal house in the middle of London. As Nicky watches the transformation in Daniel, he begins to confront his own journalistic detachment.".
"It's not long before all three are called to Indonesia and to the center of a war zone. It's here, finally, that Daniel must choose between the story of a lifetime and the people whose lives hang in the balance; that Julia must decide how much she's willing to risk; and that Nicky must understand what makes life worth living."--BOOK JACKET.
