With an article about secret arms deliveries from Turkey to a banned Syrian Islamist organization, journalist Can Dündar makes himself an enemy of President Erdoğan. He is sentenced to 27 years in prison – and an assassination attempt is made on him right outside the courthouse. Years later, he receives a letter from his possible assassin, who promises him explosive information. Dündar meets him and uncovers a network of secret deals between democratic and autocratic governments. An incredible story, as thrilling as a thriller, but unfortunately real – a terrifying glimpse into the depths of political abuse of power.
