Synopsis

A reporter for the Bergen News, Chris Turley could never measure up to his father. Edward Turley, a combination of Bob Woodward and Ernie Pyle, was one of the last great investigative reporters and a difficult man to impress. While stuck covering press conferences and town hall meetings, Chris, his father’s legend in mind, has always dreamed of his own Pulitzer, however unlikely it seems. Then one day while he’s waiting to meet a source, a giant explosion takes out half of an office building next door. Shocked into action, Chris saves five people from the burning building. His firsthand account in the next day’s paper makes him a hero and a celebrity. And that’s not all. The source’s next tip delivers a second headline-grabber of a story for Chris, and suddenly his career is looking a lot more like his dad’s. But then it seems this anonymous source has had a plan for Chris all along, and his luck for being in the right place at the right time is not a coincidence at all. What seemed like a reporter’s dream quickly becomes an inescapable nightmare. Down to the Wire, David Rosenfelt’s shocking new thriller about an ordinary man who gets exactly what he’s always wanted at a price he can never pay, is an intense thrill ride that will have readers racing through the pages right up to the end.

Obviously, or not so obviously, lately I have been on a kick reading this author’s earlier books. In this second stand-alone book by the author, separate from his Andy Carpenter series, we have another story about an ordinary man who seems to be the “target” of someone. Consider his first stand-alon......more

Not quite a 4 star book, but definitely the best by Rosenfelt so far & I've enjoyed over a dozen. Matt Wolfe isn't Grover Gardner, but he's not a bad reader. He did very well with the main voices & was OK with the rest, even the women. The plot was pretty twisty, but allowed me to figure out just who......more
