Breaking News (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732943339)

Journalist Alan Rudberg seeks the truth, but a corrupt politician will destroy him to conceal it. Will the story ruin his career and his marriage? An anonymous letter sends Rudberg to eastern Oregon to investigate a kickback scheme. As he digs into a sinister web of crooked politicians and businesspeople, he finds more than he bargained for. A powerful local politician files a libel suit that threatens his reputation. Although the facts are on the Rudberg's side, a biased judge and unsympathetic townspeople pull together to oppose the "big-city" reporter. As the outcome grows uncertain, his wife questions his commitment and his publisher grows distant. Rudberg realizes he is battling business interests far more powerful than the small-town graft of this rural Western community. A parable of modern journalism.
