Book Review of Knight Day

Knight  Day
bubblebee avatar reviewed on + 49 more book reviews


The husband-and-wife team of Ron Nessen, White House press secretary under President Ford, and Johanna Neuman, foreign editor for USA Today, draw upon their extensive backgrounds in journalism, politics, and media to debut their sensational new Washington-based novel.
Capturing the turbulence of Southeast D.C. and the opulence of Georgetown, Knight & Day richly evokes the contrast between the mean streets of Washington and corridors of power on Capitol Hill.
Jane Day is a thoroughly liberated and thoroughly liberal woman, a very ambitious reporter for The Washington Post.
Jerry Knight is the âNight Talker,â the opinionated right-wing host of America's most popular all-night radio talk show.
When a prominent environmentalist is murdered, the two conflicting media personalities chase after the scoop of the century, racing against a deadline and each other to solve a mystery that goes straight to the Hill.
Not since Nick and Nora Charles has a couple exchanged so much biting banter in the course of solving a murder mystery.
