“Well-rounded characters and a lightning-paced plot raise this well above the average global conspiracy story.”—Publishers Weekly

“A knockout novel that leaves the reader with renewed appreciation for independent daily newspapers.”—Booklist (starred review) “This terrific stand-alone by the author of The Pain Nurse and the David Mapstone series should appeal to readers who enjoyed Michael Connelly’s The Scarecrow.”—Library Journal 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. But it’s all about to be violently upended on a seemingly mundane assignment to look into a staid company that “never makes news.” 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. The columnist joins with an aggressive young reporter to see if one explosive story can save his dying newspaper—and much more. Now they’re running to make the deadline of their lives, and failure will bring lethal consequences. Jon Talton is a fourth-generation Arizonan and the author of the David Mapstone mysteries. The Washington Post has lauded Talton as “a strong new voice in contemporary hardboiled fiction.” Dry Heat won the Arizona Highways Fiction Award in 2005. Arizona Dreams was a BookSense Pick, based on the recommendations of hundreds of independent bookstores. Jon’s writing was developed over 20 years as a journalist. In 2001, Jon returned to Phoenix as a columnist for the ArizonaRepublic.
