You can chase the story — but you can’t escape the cost of finding the truth.
INSIGHT: A Danny Drake Novela
“Are you going to take me with you?”
Sean made a face that Danny wasn’t sure how to read.
“That’s up to you, Danny. My ability to keep you safe will be next to zero there. If you want to come you need to realize that. Anyway, it’s your decision now.”
“It’s where the real story is, right?”
“Yeah.”
“When do we leave?”
Danny Drake is hungry.
A good supply of natural talent, some reporter’s luck, and a natural ability to sniff out a good story have landed him his dream job at The Washington Post.
But covering D.C. crime for the metro section is not the career he had envisioned. When fate gives him a chance to shadow a veteran photographer on an assignment to war-torn Syria, he jumps at it without really understanding what it means.
As with so many lessons in war, those who lack insight learn fast, and always at a cost.
