商品簡介
In the middle of the night, in war-torn Rwanda, journalist Roland Keene leaves his hotel to go off and find armed rebels to interview. Some would call it a suicide mission. Roland would agree.
What brings him to chase his final “bullet” story, the one that would cement his legacy and likely get him killed in the process is a story of ambition and betrayal. Keene starts at the bottom, living paycheck to paycheck in Chicago, running from the bookie he owes this and next month’s rent to, and trying to make his mark at one of the great papers of his shining city. With no big breaks coming his way, though, Keene decides to make his own. He orchestrates a robbery that turns into a high-profile murder, and his role as a “white knight” gets him favor with the victim’s father, and a foot in the door of the newsroom. Now immersed in the cutthroat world of investigative journalism, he breaks a story of citywide corruption, but also starts accumulating powerful enemies among his colleagues.
Keene discovers himself on the run from his own actions, hounded by the people he betrayed on his way to the front page. What will happen to the great Roland Keene if his crimes are revealed, and to what lengths will he go to ensure his secrets never see the light of day?
