Livre 1 sur 2: The Beck Rikki Political Thriller Series
Synopsis
In Washington, power isn’t won at the ballot box—it’s taken in the shadows.
When Washington investigative reporter Beck Rikki gets a secret call from a senior Justice Department official, he’s handed a lead that could decide a presidential election.
A powerful U.S. senator is on the verge of winning the White House—and someone inside the government believes he’s corrupt.
Following a trail of offshore money, suspicious deaths, and hidden corporate ties, Beck uncovers a sprawling conspiracy stretching from Canada to the Caribbean—and straight into the heart of Washington power. The deeper he digs, the more dangerous the story becomes. Financial fraud. Political bribery. Blackmail. Murder.
And then there’s the woman.
As Beck falls for a mysterious insider with her own secrets, he begins to question everything—including whether he’s being manipulated. In a city built on deception, truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.
With Election Day fast approaching, Beck realizes he may be chasing a story powerful forces will kill to protect. And when the final pieces fall into place, he discovers the truth is far bigger—and far deadlier—than he imagined.
A gripping political thriller packed with suspense, corruption, and high-level intrigue, Naked Ambition launches the Beck Rikki Political Thriller Series with explosive twists and White House-level stakes.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Trade paperback. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : No DJ issued. [6], 366, [4] pages. Two pages creased, unfolded. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads: Bill Thanks for all the "Royal" insights. Hope you enjoy! Rick. Before 2011, Rick?s career was all journalism: investigative reporter for different newspapers and later inventive magazine editor. The two roles in the same business exposed his different sides: he thrives on the thrill of an investigation and he has a creative curiosity for design and writing he has never tamed. So in 2011 he merged the two and started writing fiction. In 2016 he published his best-selling thriller, NAKED AMBITION. His second thriller, THE APPRENTICE, was published in December, 2017. His third novel, NAKED TRUTH, the sequel to NAKED AMBITION, was published in September 2018. Rick?s is founding editor of Leader?s Edge, an international business magazine (his second magazine startup). After 15 years at the helm, he left his baby in 2019 to pursue writing books full-time. When newspaper reporter Beck Rikki receives an unsolicited call from a high-ranking government official sending him off to investigate a candidate for President of the United States, he doesn't realize he's stumbled onto the story of a lifetime. As he digs deeper, he follows a trail of murder, bribery, infidelity and deceit that runs from Canada to the Caribbean--but all signs point to the White House. Beck finds nothing is quite as it appears--not his sources, not his curious new love interest and especially not the story he's pursuing. In the confusion, he suspects the motives of everyone--including his new love. He must figure out the truth. Derived from a Kirkus review: A seasoned Washington, D.C., newspaper reporter uncovers a potentially explosive corruption scandal in this debut political novel. Beck Rikki, a Washington investigative journalist, is casually sipping a Corona Light when he receives a call from Daniel Fahy, a senior figure at the Justice Department. Fahy wants to tip off Beck about a high-ranking politician that he thinks is caught up in a bribery scheme. Beck is intrigued, if a little skeptical, but it has been a while since he?s written a good investigative story. Fahy possesses recordings of U.S. Sen. David Bayard talking about an apparent money-laundering scheme involving his properties in the Cayman Islands. As the money may be coming from a contractor that Bayard?s Senate committee oversees, officials are anxious to prosecute before the next election. Beck starts his probe, but he isn?t sure whether Fahy harbors political motives of his own or plans to set up the reporter somehow. The FBI pays a visit to Geneva Kemper, a fairly sultry lobbyist who works for Serodynne Corporation, a government contractor that has donated funds to Bayard and his PAC. She is also the wife of a senator and something of a recreational nudist. Concerned about the fate of one of Serodynne?s bids, Geneva introduces herself to Beck, hoping to find out information about the investigation. The two begin a torrid affair, and revelations about not just Bayard and his dealings, but also Geneva?s investments and motives put Beck in serious jeopardy. Pullen has written a solid, descriptive thriller that shows that he is well-informed and savvy about the newspaper business and the political world. Beck and Geneva are convincing denizens of the labyrinthine world of post?9/11 and post?Citizens United politics in Washington, and their competing interests in the midst of their affair keep the complex plot from feeling like familiar territory. Geneva, in particular, is quite a creation: a woman who easily excels in this play-for-keeps yet cordial world of deal-making and power plays but despises it and longs to escape. All the characters perform their roles well, even Beck?s trusty red armchair, and in Pullen?s hands the shady and sometimes-judicious relationships among government, business, and journalism are shown in a penetrating and astute manner. This thriller offers an intricate puzzle with a few surprises and some strategic power grabs as a hardened journalist pursues the story of his career. A Blair House First Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing. N° de réf. du vendeur 84659
