description: "Civilised and apolitical, Michael Dillon is the manager of the finest hotel in a dangerous, graffiti-fouled city divided against itself. On the eve of choosing between the two women in his life --a decision that will bring him great personal happiness--he is suddenly and violently dragged into a world of ethical temptations and fanatical terrorism. An ordinary man unwittingly trapped in a savage and terrifying conflict, he is now faced with only two options--both equally devastating...and deadly."
