      About This Book

      In the noted journalist's acclaimed thriller, a foreign correspondent is determined to avenge a friend's the brutal murder in the Balkans.
      A New York Times Notable Book

      Charlie Johnson is an American journalist working somewhere in the Balkans. As a seasoned correspondent, he's seen everything. But suddenly he finds himself caught up in the events he's meant to be witnessing—when the woman sheltering Charlie and his crew is set on fire by a retreating Serbian colonel.


      As the woman stumbles, burning, down the road, Charlie dashes out of hiding to extinguish the flames. But he's too late. And when she dies, something snaps inside Charlie. He now realizes he has just one ambition left in life: to find the colonel and kill him.


      In Charlie Johnson in the Flames, Michael Ignatieff tells a story of striking contemporary relevance that has drawn comparisons to the novels of Graham Greene and Robert Stone's Dog Soldiers.
