2000s: A journalist must follow the clues, no matter how far that takes her.
Casey Benedict, star reporter at the Post, has infiltrated the lives and exposed the lies of countless politicians and power players. Using her network of contacts, Casey is always on the search for the next big story, no matter how much danger this might place her in, no matter what cost emotionally.
Tipped off by an overheard conversation at an exclusive London nightclub, she begins to investigate the apparent suicide of a wealthy young British man, whose death has left his fiancée and family devastated.
Casey’s determined hunt for the truth will take her from the glitz of St-Tropez to the deserts of Libya and on to the very darkest corners of the human mind.
A novel with a subject matter for our time.
A journalist hell bent on gathering as much information they can on celebrities, politicians and any one in between. A suicide, hushed up, reveals something much more widespread and dangerous than anyone could have expected.
The hunt for the truth takes the journalist in this novel to refugee camps in Libya. A dangerous and deadly place for many, let alone, female journalists. The extremes of temperature here, the hidden dangers in the wild valleys, the abuse and lack of human empathy at the awful refugee camps. All a sobering part of the novel. You can tell the author is a journalist who has experienced some of these sights.
There’s a few jaunts to places such as St. Tropez and Geneva but these are brief and not that central to the main story and setting of the Middle East and the refugee crisis.
