Heâs a man whose life is so intertwined with his job that we know him only as Âthe columnist.â He writes for a newspaper in Seattle, isnât afraid to stir up trouble and keeps his life  including his multiple lovers and his past  in safe compartments. Itâs all about to be violently upended when he goes out on what seems like the most mundane of assignments, looking into a staid company that Ânever makes news.â
But from the moment one of his sources takes a dive off a downtown skyscraper, the columnist is plunged into a harrowing maze of murder, intrigue and secrets that powerful forces intend to keep hidden at all costs. All he has to go on is a corporate world where nothing is as it seems, increasingly menacing encounters with mysterious federal agents and the unsettling meme Âeleven/eleven.â Meanwhile, the paper itself is dying. The columnist joins with an aggressive young reporter to see if one explosive story can save a newspaper  and much more. Theyâre running to make the deadline of their lives and failure will bring lethal consequences.
Deadline Man is Jon Talton at his best, a novel that is both electrifying and intelligent, capturing the romance and harsh reality of newspaper journalism while raising important questions that will haunt readers long after the fast-paced action ends.
