Chris Turley is a news reporter just like his father was. However, Chris' dad was legendary and Chris' career has been much less spectacular. Until the day when he gets a call from a source to meet in a park. While Chris is waiting to meet his anonymous source, the medical building across the street blows up. Chris rushes in and helps save five people. Not only does he get the exclusive on the story, suddenly, he is a huge hero. A few days later, he gets another tip which implicates the mayor in a sex scandal. Once again, Chris has the exclusive story. His life has been changed forever. The next tip, though, makes Chris realize that he is being used as a pawn and that his life along with many others are in danger. Is the key something his dad reported on that angered someone, even all these years later?
I have read many of David Rosenfelt's books. I love his Andy Carpenter series. They are funny and wise-cracking. It took me awhile to get into this one because the style was different. Overall, I liked this book. Chris was a great main character and he was easy to like. The thing that bothered me most was the over-the-top killings and the threat to the whole free world thing that went on. It just seemed too much. Still, I'll check out David Rosenfelt's next book, whether it be in series or a stand alone.
Rating - B+
