Description
In the wake of a devastating 1985 jumbo jet crash, a fictional Japanese newspaper is thrust into the pressure-cooker reality of covering one of the country’s most infamous aviation disasters. Over seven turbulent days, the newsroom fractures into competing factions as editors and reporters wrestle with accuracy, ethics, and the human cost behind every headline. As deadlines close in, personal loyalties and professional principles collide, revealing how truth is shaped not only by facts, but by fear, ambition, and responsibility. With Hideo Yokoyama’s incisive, character-driven style, the novel becomes a tense, compassionate exploration of media, memory, and the moral weight of telling a story when lives are still unfolding.
