American Outrage
Under the prying eyes of tabloid journalism,
A reporter becomes the story...
Jake Carlson, a correspondent for the TV news show American Outrage, inhabits a world of sensational trials and crazed celebrities. One of the nation's top television journalists, he's used to dragging himself into the dirt to get to the truth. When his adopted son Sam asks him to use his muckraking talents to find his birth mother, Jake is stunned by the ugly secrets he unearths: An international crime syndicate, a horrifying child trafficking ring, and a corrupt politician, the patriarch of an old New England financial dynasty. Initially galvanized by a career-making exclusive, Jake—and his son—are soon the victims of brutal violence and the targets of Jake's fellow reporters, who dog them for their story. Concerned for the survival of his family, Jake realizes some sins of the past should never be uncovered... Filled with an insider's knowledge of tabloid news and the experience of an adopted son seeking his biological parents, AMERICAN OUTRAGE proves to be Tim Green's best, most personal thriller yet.

PraiseFeatured on BookBrowse.com! "Bestseller Green introduces a tough, appealing hero in his action-packed 12th thriller.... Green's tale is ripe with irony and full of barbs." —Publishers Weekly "Genre veteran Green hits his stride here, with his best novel since his early football thrillers..." —Booklist "American Outrage starts off a bit slowly, but patient readers will be rewarded in the second half, which contains some of the best writing Green has ever done. He drops a number of surprises throughout—one of the biggest at the halfway point, when he unexpectedly takes a major character piece off the board—and as the closing pages fly by, it's anyone's guess as to how things will end. This is a strong work by one of the more consistently dependable authors." —BookReporter.com "Tim Green delivers an intense thriller in American Outrage, with characters he makes you care about." —Bookloons.com (read the full review) "American Outrage is full of suspense at every turn. Hang on and fasten your seatbelt!" —ArmChairInterviews.com (read the full review) "Worth a read? Yes. Worth it to keep the guy on your watch list? Absolutely." —BookGasm.com (read the full review) "A highly, highly enjoyable and thought provoking novel." —NewMysteryReader.com (read the full review) "A vigorous thriller that delves into the dirty laundry of politics and illegal activity." —FreshFiction.com (read the full review) "...a GREAT book! American Outrage grabbed my attention from the opening pages all the way to the nail biting conclusion. Tim Green has crafted a story that engages the reader and drags him into a novel that is nearly impossible to put down once it's started. It has all the components (conspiracy, murder, shady politics etc.) to make a thrilling read. American Outrage is one of the best thriller's of 2007 thus far." —Jeff Holton, 1340mag Books "...this is a good read; a very good read. Tim Green is quick to set up the plot and hurl the reader into an engrossing story that is believable and entertaining. Throughout, Green leaves you dangling with suspense at the end of chapters, making you want to continue to read on. This man knows how to write! .... Green brings a high level of suspense to his writing, introducing seemingly normal characters in normal situations, yet giving the reader a [futile] chance to figure out the mystery before the book ends. But Green doesn't tidy everything up until the last few pages, offering the reader a good ride for the read.... I strongly recommend this book for those looking for a good suspense mystery with interesting characters and subplots, twists and turns, and a climax that is exciting, logical and fulfilling. This is the best and most fun read I've had in quite some time." —Reader Views  |
