Resumen del Editor

From the bestselling author of The Devil May Dance and The Hellfire Club comes a breathtaking thriller that explores the chaotic underworlds of the 1970s after an AWOL US Marine returns home to a strange and dangerous country.

It's 1977. Ike and Lucy, Senator Charlie and Margaret Marder's kids, are grown up—and in trouble. US Marine Ike has gone somewhat off the grid, working on Evel Knievel's pit crew in Montana, when—after a bar fight—he has to flee a neo-Nazi gang and seek refuge in the woods with a group of Vietnam veterans. Lucy, a reporter, has become the star of the brand-new Washington DC tabloid, the Sentinel, and is breaking all sorts of stories about a serial killer and falling in with the Lyons, the wealthy family that owns the newspaper, British immigrants with quite a different view of journalism than Lucy's heroes Woodward and Bernstein.

As their lives spiral out of control, Ike goes on the road with Evel Knievel, the Vietnam veterans, and other societal outcasts, first heading to Graceland to mourn Elvis Presley, then going to confront politicians—for grievances real and perceived—on an island in Georgia. Lucy, too, is at that retreat with both her parents and the Lyon family, attendees at this retreat where the future of the post-Nixon Republican party will be decided. The confrontation turns violent and both Ike and Lucy have to make decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives.

Love the 1970s narrative

Interesting and gripping story. I wish it was longer! I grew up watching Evil Kneival doing jumps on Wide World of Sports :-). The similarities Jake draws to today are real

Interesting. but not at all what I expected

Enjoyed it once II got into it. it gave me AA new perspective on shake Tapper. It is not a book I would not choose to read again

A Walk Down Memory Lane

This fun suspense novel walks through a chunk of 70’s history I had forgotten. Evil Kneival. Haven’t thought about his crazy jumps since I was a child. The woman narrator whispered her part too often, otherwise a fun summer read. Haunting how much the 70’s had in common with current politics.

Interesting but predictable

The narrator for the character Lucy has a voice that is timid and breathy. I find that difficult to listen to. Perhaps I would have enjoyed the hard copy or ebook more.

All the Big Demons are Here!!!!

I loved this book. This book has great historical details. I think it was great to see in the life of the Ike and Lucy. Jake Tapper may be a news anchor but he has proved he is a good writer. My favorite part was when they were on the Island with all of the politicians. Lucy and Ike are just as strong and courageous as their parents.

Story isn’t as smooth as previous books

Felt like this audio book could have been 3 hours longer. The story felt jumpy and incomplete. Culminated rapidly at the end with what felt like a forced ending.

Wonderful Book!!!

Highly recommend!!! Great read!!! Loved the story line. Listen to it can’t go wrong or pick up a copy.

Captivating!

This was a great read! It was not only interesting storyline, the author did a great job in weaving in historical facts in this captivating page turner. I highly recommend it!

Surprisingly Strong, Intricate and Compelling!!

An expert weaving of key themes (even more prevalent today), historic events and highly engaging characters. Well done Jake!

Strong praise as well for narrators Meg Price & Rob Shapiro!

A story set in the past which mirrors much of today

Very exciting. Shows how great wealth makes families believe that general societal norms and laws do not apply to them. Many twists and turns in the plot.
