Description
The truth might be more than reporter Booker Johnson bargained for.
TV reporter Booker Johnson just doesn’t know when to back down. Fresh off his fourth Emmy win and back in the classroom, he teaches the primacy of truth in journalism. But there is danger in pursuing the truth at all costs. And despite being told by his superiors to move on from the scene of a suspicious accident, Booker just can’t leave well enough alone.
Booker’s investigation soon plunges him into the gritty world of crime boss Parson Manor, where corruption reigns supreme, and where Gibby Manor is being trained to follow in his father's criminal footsteps. Meanwhile, on the other side of the law, rising star prosecutor Cain Stocker prepares to unveil a 37-count indictment against Parson Manor.
Unbeknownst to Booker, his relentless investigation is hurtling them all toward an explosive collision. The battle between criminal and prosecutor takes an unprecedented turn. And in a race against time, Booker's determination to report the facts leaves him caught in the crossfire, teetering on the edge in a dangerous game where the stakes are high…and the consequences deadly.
Emmy Award-winning reporter Mel Taylor and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brian Shea deliver a gripping thriller, perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben.

Good book! I definitely enjoyed reading this one! It had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, fantastic characters, a great who done it! And a few crazy twists and turns! Thank you Netgally and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
Wow, what a great book, I absolutely loved it.
Crime boss Parson Monroe rules over everyone he does business with and any others that get in his way. Egotistical and arrogant he achieves what he wants through fear tactics and shady dealings. His wife Morgan is also dominated by his ways, but this is not the life she wishes to have. If not for her son Gibby, Morgan’s life would be extremely empty. Gibby is a wild child and soon will be involved in a crime that will have terrible repercussions, not only for himself and one of his friends, but many other lives will also be affected.
Brooker Johnston is a journalist and a very good one. Soon an event occurs, and Booker’s bosses ask him to leave it well alone but that is not in his nature, and he takes off full steam ahead to look for the truth. Soon Booker and Monroe will cross paths and the results are explosive. Then we have prosecutor Cain Stocker who is also going after Monroe, and he is relentless in his pursuit. All this comes together for a fast-moving crime thriller, brilliantly portrayed and full of suspense and excitement.
If you like a great crime thriller this book is for you. Thank you to Netglley, the author and publisher for an advanced copy, all opinions are my own.
