It's 1972. The Watergate scandal has Washington on edge and Rick Putnam, a Vietnam veteran and courier for a national television network, is trying to get his life back together after the ordeal of war. He's found that pushing his motorcycle to the limit wipes out the terrible nightmares--for a while. But it all turns real when Rick picks up film from a crew interviewing a government worker with a hot story. Within hours, both crew and witness are dead and Rick is in the killer's crosshairs.

"Peabody Award-winner Irving, a veteran TV news writer and producer, uses his own formative experiences in the business as the starting point for this conspiracy thriller set in Washington, D.C., in 1972. Rick Putnam survived his tour of duty in Vietnam, but remains haunted by his experiences there. He now works as a courier for the Associated Broadcast Network, transporting film from the field back to the studio on his motorcycle. After Rick picks something up from the network's top investigative journalist, Joe Hadley, a hit man takes out Hadley and his crew, the first of a number of murders carried out to conceal the contents of the images Rick was given. The next victim is an accountant Hadley interviewed who worked for the Committee for the Reelection of the President. Though that revelation signals that the bloodshed is connected with the White House, Irving uses a lesser-known allegation of Nixonian villainy as his payoff. The fast-paced action will appeal to Baldacci and Meltzer fans. " -Publishers Weekly Kudos to one of television's best producers for writing the thriller of the year." -Sam Donaldson, White House Reporter "If the phrase 'a crackling good yarn' evokes an era before Twitter, Facebook, cell phones, videotape, DVD's or cable television, welcome to Terry Irving's fast-paced thriller." -Ted Koppel, anchor for NBC Nightline An action-packed tale of murder and political intrigue set in the politically turbulent 1970s.... Irving portrays [courier Rick Putnam] as a classic pulp-fiction hero: a chiseled, chain-smoking ex-soldier who's always ready with snappy quips. ... Irving's story is relentlessly paced, punctuated by bursts of action and violence, and driven by artfully unfolding suspense.... An exciting and gritty, if uneven, thriller." --Kirkus Reviews.
