Beirut. April 1973. One American journalist desperately seeks to identify the source of quickening instability before Lebanon plunges into civil war. Cordell Whitaker finds himself at the violent intersection between Palestinian revolutionaries, Christian militias, Lebanese intelligence, the office of the Prime Minister, Israeli Defense Forces, and innocent civilians.
And while he slowly uncovers an awful truth, its complexity challenges his most settled assumptions. He is forced to grapple with his own demons as he learns that he alone may hold the keys to peace.
