O knihe

All Ben Tano wants is to save lives by feeding the hungry, which gives him a deep sense of purpose. With the rise in conflicts and cataclysmic natural disasters, there is no lack of need, especially in the most remote and dangerous places where rebel militant groups use food as a weapon of war. When Ben's mission to Somalia goes horribly wrong, he's left questioning everything about his life-his future career, his marriage, and even how to survive each day. Back at his humanitarian agency's headquarters in Rome, Ben accepts an assignment to spearhead a new project to adopt blockchain technology that would improve the efficiency and accountability of global operations. When a London consultant, Melissa Trask, is brought in to assist, she and Ben connect immediately, their friendship sparking intense but confusing emotions. But Melissa is harboring a secret that could cost both her family and Ben everything. Ben soon finds himself at the center of an international criminal conspiracy. Paranoid and afraid for his life, he follows the clues from Panama to Colombia, where he must prove his innocence and rediscover the courage he lost in Somalia. Authors Trudy E. Bower and John B. Crisci infuse this adventure with intrigue, terror, romance, and betrayal while shining a light on the lives and sacrifices of humanitarians working in places where the faint of heart dare not go.
