Riassunto

Get ready for the ride of your life - It's 1972. The Watergate scandal has Washington on edge. Rick Putnam, a Vietnam veteran and motorcycle courier for one of the capital's leading television stations, is trying to get his life back together after his nightmarish ordeal in the war. But when Rick picks up film from a news crew interviewing a government worker with a hot story, his life begins to unravel as everyone involved in the story dies within hours of the interview and Rick realizes he is the next target. Before Twitter and Facebook, the fastest way get a story on the news was on a BMW R50/2 motorbike. It was also the fastest way to get killed - Courier is a political conspiracy thriller as exciting as Three Days of the Condor, with a lead as cool as Easy Rider, all set in Nixon-era Washington. Written by a four-time Emmy award-winning writer and producer, this is a killer blend of action and surprise twists, certain to appeal to fans of James Ellroy and Dennis Lehane.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

I am an Emmy Award-winning television journalist Ted Koppel called me "Nightline's best breaking news producer." I've spent 4 decades covering Washington s scandals and scoundrels at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and many other media outlets. My work at the network level has earned me a shelf filled with Emmys and an urge to write something longer than 20 seconds. I ve tried to put this experience into every page of Courier, a journey behind the headlines and into the very real heart of the nation's capital. I did start out as a motorcycle courier in 1973 and I wish I could say that I based the character of Rick Putnam on myself--but he's far tougher, stronger and better-looking.
