The Bathsheba Deadline... The Days of the Bitter End...\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A great American novelist, Engelhard brings it as only he can in language that is economical, hard-boiled and fast-paced to uncover through the art of fiction the naked truth about a TV news personality who resembles someone we all know.\u003cbr\u003e Brilliant and elegantly done, Engelhard dishes the scoop on this \"queen of Chick Power with legs to die for.\" What's it like to live under the glare of the spotlight, and to love after the lights go down?\u003cbr\u003e In Engelhard's masterful rendering, we follow the glamorous Marjorie Carmen's rise to TV news stardom and what it took to get there, and what it takes to stay there. She came along when network TV news was dominated by living but dull white males. We root for her, hurt for her, love with her, find fault with her, and are always fascinated by her. But she is only half the story.\u003cbr\u003e As she keeps winning, her husband, Rick, keeps losing. He's a failure. He must do something to prove he's worth keeping. The choice he makes leads to a fascinating result, and in taking us inside a teetering marriage, Engelhard is peerless. Watch for the third major character Engelhard adds to the picture - Ruben Franklin! This is a newsroom swashbuckler you'll never forget, just as you will never forget Marjorie Carmen, so fictitious, but so true. To know her, is to know our culture.\u003cbr\u003e This is a superb, thrilling novel that must be read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise received: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Engelhard zeroes in on a news anchor who resembles Megyn Kelly.
