For almost a decade, Matt Kozar had been coasting as a general reporter with the New York Tribune ... longing but never managing to break the big story ... until now. While on a routine assignment in Central Park, the launch of Feed the Starving - a glitzy, high-powered campaign to raise awareness of a devastating famine plaguing the Horn of Africa, Kozar soon becomes entangled in a web of incredible greed and corruption, and a devious plot to defraud the U.S. government of hundreds of millions of dollars in food aid destined for millions of starving children, women and men. In this fast-paced, hard-hitting political thriller, Kozar flies to Eritrea where he witnesses blatant corruption in the distribution of international food aid. But there is something far more sinister going on, and as he continues to dig, he quickly finds himself pitted against a rogue's gallery of extremely dangerous characters: a powerful evangelical minister, a repugnant US Republican senator, the unscrupulous head of the UN International Food Fund and a pair of ruthless Russian oligarchs - who will stop at nothing, including murder, to keep their illegal enterprise from being exposed.
