Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In this first novel by a CNN political correspondent, a D.C. consultant lands herself in the middle of a high-profile scandal while spinning the case of the century
Kate Boothe is sitting pretty in Rome, drinking good wine, enjoying the company of the most handsome man in the world, and trying to take a well-deserved breather from her work as a political consultant. Then her business partner, Jack Vanzetti, flies out to tell her that someone has been selling military secrets to the Chinese, and that her least-favorite ex, muckraking reporter Lyle Gold, has been fingered as the guilty party. With the country in a state of patriotic panic, nobody is willing to take Lyleâs side; by stepping into the breach, Vanzetti & Boothe could finally have the big win they need in order to consult on a presidential campaign.
Kate is more interested, however, in the question of Lyleâs innocence: while sheâs willing to believe him capable of many offensesâ he dumped her, after allâtreason seems out of character. And since the political climate demands that someone hang, perhaps literally, she decides to come to Lyleâs defense. But she quickly discovers that sheâll make no friends by investigating the complicated intrigues of the military/political elite, and finds that the stakes are higher than even she had realized.
As sharp and irreverent as its heroineâa woman whoâs willing to take on the fight of her life armed only with brains, charm, and a couple of bottles of champagneâThe Latest Bombshell is a witty, savvy debut.
