Críticas:

"Kudos to one of television's best producers for writing the thriller of the year." - Sam Donaldson, White House Reporter "If the phrase 'a crackling good yarn' evokes an era before Twitter, Facebook, cell phones, videotape, DVD's or cable television, welcome to Terry Irving's fast-paced thriller." - Ted Koppel, anchor for ABC Nightline "Courier is a terrific page-turner with a clever backdrop and compelling characters." -Erik Sorenson President of MSNBC " If you can remember the sixties, you never lived through them. If you lived through the seventies, you'll never forget. Irving masterfully brings back the cold-eyed conspiracy lurking behind the smiley face." - Marshall Arbitman, Senior Writer Anderson 360 on CNN "In his debut thriller, Irving masterfully re-creates early 1970';s Washington, and then proceeds to race the reader through his world at breakneck speed. True to its title, Courier delivers!" -Erik Daniel Boudreau, Author of Tidal Force "I am a former rider myself and I was instantly transported back to that feeling of tremendous power between my knees and feeling my hand twist the throttle just a little bit more- pushing my personal limits to balance the fear with the utter exhilaration I felt." -Loriann Murray, Scribbles and Sensibilities

Reseña del editor:

Get ready for the ride of your life - It's 1972. The Watergate scandal has Washington on edge. Rick Putnam, a Vietnam veteran and motorcycle courier for one of the capital's leading television stations, is trying to get his life back together after his nightmarish ordeal in the war. But when Rick picks up film from a news crew interviewing a government worker with a hot story, his life begins to unravel as everyone involved in the story dies within hours of the interview and Rick realizes he is the next target. Before Twitter and Facebook, the fastest way get a story on the news was on a BMW R50/2 motorbike. It was also the fastest way to get killed - Courier is a political conspiracy thriller as exciting as Three Days of the Condor, with a lead as cool as Easy Rider, all set in Nixon-era Washington. Written by a four-time Emmy award-winning writer and producer, this is a killer blend of action and surprise twists, certain to appeal to fans of James Ellroy and Dennis Lehane.
