In a ground-breaking book that combines a novelist's eye with rivetting
investigative journalism, Bernard-Henri Lévy, one of the world's most
esteemed writers, retraces Pearl's final steps through a murky Islamic
underworld, suffused by "an odour of the apocalypse." The investigation
plunges Lévy into his own heart of darkness – and a series of stunning
revelations about who the real terrorists are.
