Success came too easily for Erica Sparks, though her ego prevented her from seeing that. With the voice of a newscaster, narrator Devon O'Day tells the story of an ambitious journalist who ends up taking on the very people who employ her as she digs deep into monumental news stories that always seem to happen in her presence. The audiobook presents a slightly warped view of the television news business but makes for interesting listening as Sparks digs harder than Woodward and Bernstein to get to the truth. Her boss is deliciously evil—can he be the mastermind responsible for everything both good and bad in Erica's life? O'Day's presentation will keep listeners on the edge of their seats with this thriller. M.S. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
Lis Wiehl incorporates her own experience as a TV host and federal prosecutor in this riveting series. Erica Sparks has become a superstar overnight. Is it due to her hard work and talent, or is she at the center of a spiraling conspiracy?
Erica Sparks is a beautiful and ambitious reporter who has just landed her dream job at Global News Network in New York. And while it was hard to leave Jenny, her cherished eight-year-old daughter, in the custody of her ex-husband, Erica is determined to succeed in the cutthroat world of big-time broadcasting. She can only hope her troubled past won't come back to sabotage her dreams.
Although the wounds from her divorce are still fresh, Erica can't deny the chemistry between her and her new producer, the handsome and empathetic Greg Underwood. But a relationship is the last thing she wants right now.
On her very first assignment, Erica inadvertently witnesses-and films-a horrific tragedy, scooping all the other networks. Mere weeks later, another tragedy strikes-again, right in front of Erica and her cameras.
Her career skyrockets overnight, but Erica is troubled. Deeply. This can't just be coincidence. But what is it?
Erica will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. But she has to make sure disaster-and her troubled past-don't catch up with her first.*
