Rage
Acerca deste livro eletrónico
His father is dead. His lover is dead. Friends are gone or still recovering. The newsroom staff is exhausted. Everyone is looking to Cage Washington to show them the way through this crisis, and he has nothing to give them.
Cage is the co-Editor-In-Chief of the Eyewitness News at Portland State University. He's filmed the Black Lives Matter protests for months now. He's tried to capture the downtown emptied by the COVID virus and then ravaged by tear gas that clings everywhere. The newsroom needs him, his lover needs him, and maybe everyone is right — the city needs him.
But he has nothing to give. All he feels is rage, and he's afraid it will burn everything to ashes if he ever loses control.
Book 5 in the political suspense series Newsroom PDX.
Some sex, foul language. Lots of politics. It's Portland.
Acerca do autor
L.J. Breedlove is a former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what she knows: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys.
"I write about religion and politics. About race and gender. I believe in the journalism axiom: Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. To which the labor organizer Mother Jones was supposed to have added: And in general raise hell. That works for me."
L.J. grew up on a cattle ranch and then went to college to be an oceanographer. She decided getting seasick was not a good trait for an oceanographer to have, and discovered journalism instead — a field that liked people who asked questions!
As a reporter and editor, she worked in Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, Washington, D. C. Then she got homesick for the Pacific Northwest and came home to work with college newspapers and teach journalism.
She is an over-educated, bleeding heart liberal with a penchant for heroes such as Jack Reacher. She isn't particularly bothered by the inconsistency.
You can follow her on Twitter @ljbreedlove for her political stuff, or on Facebook ljbreedlove for her writing life. Best place to find her -- besides a local coffee shop -- is at ljbreedlove.com.
