Narrated by: Tom Lawrence

From the Sunday Times best-selling author of Six Four: an investigative thriller set amid the aftermath of an air disaster - perfect for fans of Spotlight and After the Crash.

1985. Kazumasa Yuuki, a seasoned reporter at the North Kanto Times, runs a daily gauntlet against the power struggles and office politics that plague its newsroom. But when an air disaster of unprecedented scale occurs on the paper's doorstep, its staff are united by an unimaginable horror and a once-in-a-lifetime scoop.

2002. Seventeen years later, Yuuki remembers the adrenaline-fuelled, emotionally charged seven days that changed his and his colleagues' lives. He does so while making good on a promise he made that fateful week - one that holds the key to its last unsolved mystery and represents Yuuki's final, unconquered fear.
