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.
