False Light by Eric Dezenhall

4.5 *s
This is one of the best novels I've read this year. It is fast paced with plenty of interesting looks into the current state of the media. "Fuse" Petty is a veteran journalist who is being put out to pasture. Fuse is a technology luddite, a good friend, a good husband and father, as well as an excellent print journalist.His best friend seeks his advice on a very serious matter. The friend's daughter was assaulted while interning for a very well known "gotcha" type online reporter. Since, Fuse is currently on leave, he undertakes a scheme to help bring justice to his friend's family. For some reason this reminded me of that old movie "The Sting." The author uses many thinly veiled incidences pulled from headline news of the past few years to create some if the characters and subplots. It was a well woven engaging read.
