"Our society needs more entertaining novels that bring to life the importance of a responsible and independent press, an accountable government, and the rule of law. Gen LaGreca's JUST THE TRUTH does just that. This book isn't only for those who care about modern threats to our country's founding principles, but for anyone looking for a great political thriller." -- C ARRIE LUKAS, President, Independent Women's Forum A newswoman battles a powerful bureaucracy to keep journalism, a free press--and truth--alive. Set in Washington, DC, in the near future, Just the Truth portrays the threats to a free press in the era of growing, unchecked government and the courageous spirit of one journalist who risks her career, her reputation--and even her life--to uncover a plot to subvert free elections in America. Find the truth, wherever it hides was the slogan of firebrand newspaper mogul Julius Taninger (JT) in the mid-20 th century. Then, politicians feared his scathing editorials. Now, 70 years later, with JT deceased and his son Clark and grandchildren Irene, Billie, and Laura Taninger running the company, have the tables turned? In modern-day America, does the press--and the broader business community--still have the freedom to criticize public officials, or do those officials have the power to silence their opponents? Laura Taninger is about to find out. Fox... James Spenser whispers as he lay dying in Laura's arms. She cannot let Spenser die in vain. Having become the president of Taninger News and host of its prime time television show after the death of her intrepid grandfather, Laura becomes the sole journalist to hold President Kenneth Martin's administration accountable. The signature program of his administration, SafeVote, puts control of national elections in the hands of the federal government, rather than letting the states manage the voting in their own jurisdictions. SafeVote is scheduled to launch with the upcoming presidential election in which Martin hopes to win a second term. Laura suspects foul play when she discovers a $400 million line item in the SafeVote budget allocated to pay an elusive company for performing undisclosed services. James Spenser, who was Laura's source within the administration, had vital information for her but was gunned down before he could reveal it. Facing the crushing retaliation of her political enemies against her family's businesses, a smear campaign to destroy her career and reputation, and the intense pressure of her family to give up her investigation, Laura persists in her quest to learn the meaning of Spenser's dying word and the secrecy surrounding SafeVote. As she gets closer to unraveling the mystery, she realizes that the facts point to shocking revelations about the man whose memory haunts her, the man who was her greatest business competitor and her most passionate lover--until he betrayed her and the ideals they shared. With Election Day looming and the country at a perilous crossroads, Laura is determined to pursue the truth wherever it leads.
