A private crisis becomes front-page news when terrorists target a TV anchorman and his family in #1 New York Times'€“bestselling author Arthur Hailey'€™s riveting novel set in the high-pressure network news industry Anchorman Crawford Sloane, a respected reporter who made his name as a Vietnam War correspondent, thrives on the unpredictability of life in the newsroom. Whether he'€™s covering the imminent crash of an airliner in distress, terror in South America, or riots in Eastern Europe, or dealing with the cold-blooded politics of one of America'€™s premier news organizations, he never loses his cool. With terrorism dominating the evening news, Sloane takes precautions because he knows that as the face of American democracy, he'€™s a prime target for radicals. But when terrorists kidnap his family, he'€™s no longer reporting the news; he'€™s living it. Unwilling to rely on the help of ruthless network executives or the intrepid reporter who was once a rival for the affections of his wife, Sloane sets out to track down the kidnappers himself'€”and he soon learns that pure terror can lie behind the headlines.
