Anyone who has read Mark Bowden's "Black Hawk Down" or "Killing Pablo" knows that he is capable of putting us in the heat of a story in a way few writers can.

Whether traveling to Zambia, where a team of antipoachers fights to save the black rhino, to Guant?namo Bay to expose the controversial ways America is fighting its war on terror, or to a small town in Rhode Island to penetrate the largest cocaine ring in history, Bowden takes us down rough roads previously off limits?and gives us another gripping read.
