The Anonymous Source
By A. C. Fuller
Seize the opportunity this Saturday 10/24 at noon to meet
A.C. Fuller at The Edmonds Bookshop, and hear firsthand the way he spins a
thrilling tale.
This media thriller engages you from its very beginning, which
is 9/11. When the first plane hit the
North Tower of the World Trade Center, Macintosh Hollinger was in his executive
offices on the 99th floor of the South Tower. What happens to him that day is not what his
loved ones believed. A. C. Fuller
skillfully reveals a story of intrigue that whirls around a fast changing media
business, and also around a cast of characters, each with passions that boil so
close to the surface.
A year after the attacks, a young newspaper reporter in New
York is seeking excitement and a fast break into flashy television news. He’d been disappointed by his assignment to a
bland court circuit, until now with the beginning of the Santiago trial. He knows this media-circus story will finally
land him on the front page and will keep him there for weeks. What he doesn’t know is that he’s about to
start down a trail where he’ll uncover the scoop of a lifetime. So why then does his editor bury the
story? And it can’t be some coincidence
that his source turns up dead. What
ensues will test this reporter’s courage and integrity.
Now Alex Vane is a reporter in the midst of a violent media
conspiracy. He needs to solve the
mystery before more people end up dead, before he could end up dead. Who is the anonymous source that seems to be
helping Alex? What is motivating this
anonymous source? Is he really helping
Alex? And how does any of this relate to
Macintosh Hollinger? You’ll be eagerly
analyzing along with Alex as he tracks down facts, interviews people, and
investigates clues using the newly emerging internet and other turn of the 21st
century technology. In the end, it’s a
mix of reporter’s intuition and some old fashioned common sense that puts it
together and reveals a secret that leads back to the tragic morning of 9/11.
This author has been an observant witness to the
unprecedented media reporting changes of this timeframe. A. C. was a freelance reporter, and
previously taught Journalism at New York University. He’s currently an English teacher at
Northwest Indian College on the Olympic Peninsula, and fortunately for readers
he’s also now a published author.
Thereby hangs a tale . . . .
