Even though Sydney Price has relatives who run Glenmont Media, she has chosen to earn her place as a reporter on her own terms and works at a smaller New York TV network. Her desk is next to a colleague she&#8217;d rather avoid, a man who isn&#8217;t very nice and has a habit of swiping her snacks. Then everything accelerates. A bomb threat in the building next door, the home of Glenmont, turns out to be very real, and Sydney&#8217;s brother is suspect number one. Her irritating deskmate is suddenly rushed to the hospital with food poisoning, fighting for his life. When sabotage strikes the plaza, Sydney throws herself into finding answers, even as she realizes her position as a reporter both helps and hinders what she can uncover. While a menacing storm bears down on the city, one thing becomes painfully clear: whatever she digs up could make her the next target. Kipness writes about the world of television news with real expertise and flair, crafting compelling characters and a baffling, twisty mystery. <strong>Layer in a sharp expos\u00e9 of New York high society, and you get a story readers will be eager to talk about.<\/strong> Fortunately, the price of silence isn&#8217;t too steep here, because word of mouth is exactly what this terrific book deserves.<strong>\u2014Jeff Ayers<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A reporter becomes part of the story in Kipness&#8217;s latest, and the result is a gripping ride.
