Deadline Audiobook

John Dunning captured top places on national bestseller lists with The Bookman’s Wake, a New York Times notable book of the year that prompted one critic to comment, “John Dunning writes stunningly good mysteries.” Deadline is a suspenseful tale that begins in a dusty newsroom, but spins out into a dark world of conspiracy and murder.

Although Dalton Walker is an award-winning journalist, his attempt to write fiction has gone nowhere. So he hires on at a small New Jersey newspaper, the Tribune, hungry again for the excitement of headlines and hard-hitting features. His job begins with covering a child’s death in a fire and a showgirl’s Amish background.

As Walker tries to obey his reporter’s instinct, the risks mount with each piece of information he gathers. These deadlines could be a death sentence.
