In a near future world, Jack Sorret lives in the shadow of his past.
Since imploding his career as a crack reporter, Jack spends his days writing bird cage liner for the sleepy River Gazette in Stillwater, Minnesota. It's safe, steady and quiet. Too safe. Too quiet. When a string of cryptic emails shatters the silence, his jones for the high-octane life he once led blows up like a bad genie out of a dusty bottle. The bait is exquisite; a political-business powder keg laced with corruption, greed, and danger. Jack's an all or nothing guy-and he's all in. At last the ground is shaking under his feet again as he tangos with a resistance cell, a CEO's dystopian plans, a mama's boy gubernatorial candidate, a Mr. Rogers-like villain and a run-away wife with secrets of her own. It will be the biggest expos of his career, and a chance to re-write his own story. But he'll have to evict his inner hot shot if he wants to avoid another flight on Icarus airlines. And it won't be easy to say goodbye to that guy.
