Hard News
A cult-classic among journalists, acclaimed author Mark Sullivan’s ode to the newsroom has never been more relevant.
In this riveting thriller, journalist Gideon McCarthy is burnt-out and struggling to keep his life together after years of chasing deadlines. The competition is ruthless, the quest for the next byline relentless.
But when a series of murders rocks his Southern California beat, Gideon soon learns that there is a dangerous line between truth and journalism....
Sinking his teeth into the news story of a lifetime could prove to be Gideon’s career salvation, but when a deranged killer is at large and digging too deep puts a target on his own back, Gideon must decide just how far he’s willing to go for the sake of the story.
