Imagine yourself a famous TV correspondent, popular, tough
for the truth and in high demand among your peers. Now,
imagine what might happen when a personal promise to your
child, amidst previous personal issues that have affected
your job, interferes with getting your job done. Not only
that, but imagine what might happen if the truth you seek
unravels secrets of corruption, mafia danger and illegal
child-trafficking.
This famous correspondent is Jake Carlson. Jake promised
his son, Sam, he'd do his best to find Sam's birth mother
after the death of his adoptive mother. Jake knows this
will be a difficult task, but he has lots of experience
ferreting out the truth. As Jake digs further, not only is
his job at stake, but his life as well. Jake makes
connections between the world of a dirty politician and the
Albanian Mafia, almost becoming the next sensational
story.
AMERICAN OUTRAGE depicts tabloid journalism as a cut-throat
industry. The plot moves quickly as father and son work to
uncover the truth and try to stay alive. Set in New York,
Tim Green uses his knowledge of behind the scenes
television news programs and an entertaining gift of
storytelling to deliver a terrific suspenseful thriller.
As an investigative journalist, Jake Carlson has made a
career of digging up the truth. Award-winning work for the
network news and NPR have led to a lucrative job as a
correspondent for a popular television news show. But soon,
his life and career are derailed when he loses his wife,
leaving him to raise their adopted son Sam. Afraid of being
left parentless, Sam yearns to find his biological mother.
Using his investigative skills to find the truth for his
son, Jake uncovers a horrifying ring of deceit and black
market child trafficking that he could never have imagined.
Worse, Jake is inextricably tied to this nefarious
syndicate--it gave him Sam. When it's revealed that Sam's
bloodline involves a complicated inheritance from a
politically powerful New England family, Jake knows that
it's no longer only his life that is at risk, but his son's
as well.
