Synopsis

"This is a goddamn big story. It'll make those jerks at the Post look like idiots and Watergate look like a cop taking an apple off a fruit stand."

It's 1972. The Watergate scandal has Washington on edge and Putnam, a Vietnam veteran and courier for one of the capital's leading television stations, is trying to get his life back together after his nightmarish ordeal in the war. Racing at breakneck speed through the streets of the capital, he not only intends to be the best courier in the business, he also intends to escape the demons that haunt him. But when Rick picks up film from a news crew interviewing a government worker with a hot story, his life begins to unravel as everyone involved in the story dies within hours of the interview and Rick realizes he is the next target.

Enlisting the aid of friends who have discovered a way to hack into the government's computer databases, and a beautiful young Indian Rights activist, Eva Buffalo Calf, Rick races full throttle through the streets of the nation's capital to stay ahead of his pursuers as he searches for answers. When he discovers the killings have been orchestrated by a rogue CIA agent and his team of assassins, Rick isn't surprised when his road to the truth leads directly to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

I am an Emmy Award-winning television journalist Ted Koppel called me "Nightline's best breaking news producer." I've spent 4 decades covering Washington s scandals and scoundrels at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and many other media outlets. My work at the network level has earned me a shelf filled with Emmys and an urge to write something longer than 20 seconds. I ve tried to put this experience into every page of Courier, a journey behind the headlines and into the very real heart of the nation's capital. I did start out as a motorcycle courier in 1973 and I wish I could say that I based the character of Rick Putnam on myself--but he's far tougher, stronger and better-looking.
