"This riveting book reads like a thriller―two friends trying to prevent murders in one of the most dangerous places on earth. But it’s a true story, about not only the extreme danger they put themselves in, but also the nauseating moral quandaries they faced." — Larissa MacFarquhar, author of Strangers Drowning
