DOWN TO THE WIRE by David Rosenfelt - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by David Rosenfelt.In Rosenfelt’s dynamite stand-alone thriller, reporter Chris Turley faces off against a source who seems like a reporter's dream - and could be his greatest nightmare.
A reporter for the Bergen News, Chris Turley could never measure up to his father, a combination of Bob Woodward and Ernie Pyle. He was one of the last great investigative reporters and a difficult man to impress. While stuck covering town hall meetings, Chris has always dreamt of his own Pulitzer, however unlikely it seems.
Then one day while he's waiting to meet a source to discuss “corruption by a high-level government official” when an
explosion rips through an office building opposite the park. Shocked into action, Chris saves five people and his firsthand account makes him a celebrity.
And that's not all. The source's next tip implicates a crooked mayor, and Chris has his second story. But then he finds out the deadly lengths to which his source has gone to "help" him, and now the man wants something in return - or more people will die. What seemed like a reporter's dream quickly becomes a nightmare.
Chris’s
source, who calls himself “P.T.,” soon starts to brag about a killing
spree, which won’t
end unless Chris kills himself. Aided by his entertainment editor
girlfriend, an FBI agent, and a homicide detective, Chris embarks on a
wild hunt for the slippery psycho. Might P.T. be embittered Peter
Randolph, who blames Chris’s late father, a famed journalist, for his
own father’s suicide?
Rosenfelt’s sly humor, breathless pacing, and
terrific plot twists keep the pages spinning toward the showdown on New
Year’s Eve in Times Square.
