A Dying Breed

Dateline: Kabul
When a bomb goes off killing a local official, William Carver, a veteran but unpredictable BBC hack, is warned off the story from every direction. But his instincts tell him something isn't right and he won't give up until he finds the truth. Patrick, a junior producer, is sent out to control the wayward Carver, but as the story unravels it looks like powerful forces are colluding to ensure the real story never sees the light of day.
Set in a shadowy le-Carre-esque world, A Dying Breed is about journalism in a time of war, about how hard it is to tell the stories that need to be told and how much easier it is not to.

'A deeply intelligent, beautifully constructed story' Will Gompertz, BBC Arts Editor
