In the days leading to the next Olympics in Atlanta, a Hollywood film star with a slumping career and a roving eye is thrown off a forty-sixth floor balcony and is impaled on the tower “mast” of a TV news live truck.
TV news cameras capture the gruesome scene and send it around the globe. As the media frenzy escalates, Atlanta officials panic, seeing their triumph in landing the Olympics for a second time blown away by a worldwide scandal.
It’s more than a murder. It’s a clash between Ian Phelps, the cunning and corrupt owner of a British TV network, and Bren Forrest, the much-admired woman who owns Global News Service, America’s premier all news channel.
Phelps plots to take over GNS and murder is part of his scheme. But Bren vows revenge for the death of her fiancé and will do anything to get it.
An ambitious African American TV reporter and her live-in lover, an Irish American police detective, team up to get the story and to catch the killer, if they can.
The chase leads them from the power towers of Atlanta and London to Marco Island and the deadly swamps of Southwest Florida.
