"A dynamic thriller with the coolest, smartest journalist that fiction ever produced."—Ben Bradlee, Washington Post
When rising-star reporter Eric Truell accepts information from a maverick CIA agent, he becomes enmeshed in an international trade war in which even his own newspaper may be an unsuspecting participant. Ignatius' nuanced understanding of journalism, business, and espionage drives this suspenseful story of a reporter on the brink of committing the ultimate firing offense.I wish Id got a chance to read this book but when it arrived and I removed it from the shipping envelope, I was almost knocked over by the very strong stench of stale cigarette smoke. It made my nose burn and my eyes water. After handling the book for just a few minutes I needed to wash my hands thoroughly to get the terrible smell off them.
