“An epic tale of passion,
manipulation, and obsession.”
—WHITNEY OTTO, New York Times bestselling author
War photographer Terry Tusley is on the hunt for that perfect shot. From his beginnings in the hallowed halls of George Eastman’s Kodak laboratories in upstate New York, to war-torn Nazi-occupied France and beyond, Terry traverses the globe for that elusive, truthful photograph—and a chance to win the Pulitzer Prize.
But the quest for fame doesn’t come without a lifetime of cost: Terry’s neglected daughter, thousands of miles away, struggles with their family dynamic and who her father really is. His wife, a model spy extraordinaire, is not the ally she purports to be. And Terry’s lifelong rival and fellow international photographer, Cameron Plumb, presents a constant, unrelenting roadblock to winning the definitive prize.
Set against the backdrop of the many brutal conflicts of the twentieth century, Bobbie Calhoun’s debut novel is a thrilling page-turner, epic in scope and stunningly beautiful in its humanity, asking: How far will these war photographers go to secure their place for all time, and what price are they willing to pay for the ultimate prize?
