Synopsis
Haunted by his late father's thirst for adventure, Alex Hickman persuaded his local newspaper that it needed a Balkan correspondent. Talking his way into besieged Sarajevo, he watched as the city's fragile ceasefire fell apart. A series of chance encounters took him to Albania and a bizarre appointment with the government. Thrown into an alliance with the country's colorful dissident leader, he found himself occupying a ringside seat as corruption and scandal spilled the country into chaos. This is a moving story of one man's search for his father's legacy among the mountains and ruin of Europe's oldest, and most mysterious corner.
