It Will Cost You Everything...
Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990's Sierra
Leone, Danny Archer, a South African mercenary, and Solomon Vandy, a
Mende fisherman are joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink
diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for smuggling,
Archer learns that Solomon--who was taken from his family and forced
to work in the diamond fields--has found and hidden the extraordinary
rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen, an American journalist
whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the
two men embark on a trek through rebel territory--a journey that could
save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he thought he
would never have.
