Publisher's Synopsis
Ever since her days as a reporter on the front line, Kate Adie has earned her reputation as one of the most intrepid women of her day. This has given Kate a curiosity about the people who do the kind of work where an error is probably lethal. What is really dangerous? Dealing with unexploded bombs? Trying to milk a king cobra for its venom? On her fascinating quest she has sought out prostitutes, stuntmen and landmine exploders. All of them can live knowing they may not make it through the next day - so why do they do it?
