Product Description

READ JOHN LUCIEW'S RUNAWAY BESTSELLER!
A serial killer known as “The Reader” is murdering journalists in the manner of their most famous stories. Dubbed the “Media Murders” by the press, the killings baffle authorities, turn once-aggressive reporters into prey and shock the country in what soon becomes a national story. The cunning killer’s first strike is cleverly disguised as a political assassination, mirroring John Hinckley’s attempt on Ronald Reagan. As it turns out, the fallen reporter had covered Reagan’s shooting. It’s the first of several bizarre killings with eerie similarities to sensational stories the murdered journalists once covered. The story is so big, The New York Times assigns its new national reporter, Cassandra “Cassie” Jordan, to cover its every development. The assignment returns Cassie to her familiar stomping grounds of Harrisburg, Pa., reuniting her with Frank “Telly” Tellis, chief political reporter for The Harrisburg Herald. Only Telly can put together the murderous truth as the secret motive for the killings is buried deep in his journalistic past. But can he solve the puzzle before falling under The Reader’s deadly crosshairs?

John Luciew, the author of FATAL DEAD LINES, SECRETS OF THE DEAD and ZERO TOLERANCE, once again plumbs the depths of power, politics and the press. The result is pulse-pounding suspense.

*This Kindle book is a full-length novel containing 96,741 words and 344 pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Page Turner - Get comfortable when you start reading, August 25, 2009

This review is from: Kill The Story (Kindle Edition)
This is a fast paced thriller that takes the time to give an insider's view on the competitive world of journalism on a daily newspaper. This books hooks the reader from the outset and never lets up. I read it in two sittings.

I especially liked the way each character is developed. Besides the twisting plot that echos today's headlines and Pennsylvania politics, the dialogue is the book's strength. Each character talks like a real person. Egos, past problems, and professional pressures shape everyone's response to an escalating serial killer.

Highly recommended. While you read this book I bet you will be thinking what I thought: This would be a great movie!

4.0 out of 5 stars Holds your Interest, February 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kill The Story (Kindle Edition)
This is the story of events surrounding one "Telly" Tellis, an aging, alcoholic, divorced with one alienated child and a granddaughter he has never seen political reporter for The Harrisburg Herald whose mother lives with him. Telly is pretty much a mess of a person when he attends a political rally and a fellow reporter is shot. The original theory is that the shooter was attempting to assassinate the Jr. Senator from Pennsylvania. This turns out to be a false assumption and Telly is smack dab in the middle of an investigation of a serial killer and is forced to look into his past of which he is not very proud. Add a possible love interest in Cassie Jordan who worked with Telly but now is the national reporter for the New York Times and John Luciew begins to weave a very good story.

There were times when I could have sworn I had read this book before, but couldn't find that it had been printed in a real book form. If I haven't read it before, there are parts that are most similar to another book(s) I've read.

This is a book which holds your interest and keeps you turning the pages. Putting it down is possible, but not for long. The characters are believable and likable but not necessarily would you want them to be your best friends.

All in all, it is a good read. Considering the Kindle price; it is a great read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reasonably interesting story brought down by typos, August 6, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kill The Story (Kindle Edition)
I just finished reading this Kindle book; it was a fairly enjoyable read, but the high number of errors in the writing really brought down my opinion of it. Either the author was in too big a hurry to get it out to properly proof it, or his knowledge of language usage is really lacking.

Numerous instances of "you're" when it should have been "your", "there" instead of "their", "where" instead of "were", "here" instead of "hear", plus several more. Coming across these klinkers in the story are like skating along and suddenly hitting a rock.

Spell check wouldn't have caught any of these things; they were spelled correctly, just used incorrectly. This author has the potential to turn out some good reading, he just needs to use a bit more care or ask help in proofing.
