Ever wondered what it is like to work in a war zone? 'We live more in one year than most people do in a lifetime,' is Danny Lowenstein's simple retort. Set in and around the international conflicts of the 1990s and early 2000s - from Bosnia, Rwanda and Chechnya to modern day Iraq and with gripping, where life is cheap, vengeance is long and betrayals can be deadly, SANDSTEALERS is a masterly thriller - infused with a deep knowledge of modern war and its reporting, but above all, it is a triumphant thriller about the heart and where it takes you.
