Deadline Man
Jon Talton
He?s a man whose life is so intertwined with his job that we know him only as ?the columnist.? He writes for a newspaper in Seattle, isn?t afraid to stir up trouble and keeps his life ? including his multiple lovers and his past ? in safe compartments. It?s all about to be violently upended when he goes out on what seems like the most mundane of assignments, looking into a staid company that ?never makes news.?
But from the moment one of his sources takes a dive off a downtown skyscraper, the columnist is plunged into a harrowing maze of murder, intrigue and secrets that powerful forces intend to keep hidden at all costs. All he has to go on is a corporate world where nothing is as it seems, increasingly menacing encounters with mysterious federal agents and the unsettling meme ?eleven/eleven.? Meanwhile, the paper itself is dying. The columnist joins with an aggressive young reporter to see if one explosive story can save a newspaper ? and much more. They?re running to make the deadline of their lives and failure will bring lethal consequences.
Deadline Man is Jon Talton at his best, a novel that is both electrifying and intelligent, capturing the romance and harsh reality of newspaper journalism while raising important questions that will haunt readers long after the fast-paced action ends.
