[BLOCKED] ESW 118. Courier with Terry Irving

Join Eat Sleep Write host Adam Scull in a wonderful conversation with tv writer-turned-novelist Terry Irving. Vietnam veteran and courier for one of the capital’s leading television networks, Rick Putnam is trying to get his life back together after his nightmarish ordeal in the war. Racing at breakneck speed through the streets of the capital, he not only intends to be the best courier in the business, he also intends to escape the demons that haunt him. 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. Enlisting the aid of friends who are on the forefront of building (and hacking into) the government’s computer databases, and a beautiful young Indian Rights activist, Eve Buffalo Calf, Rick races full throttle through the streets of the nation’s capital to stay ahead of his pursuers as he searches for answers. When he discovers the killings have been orchestrated by a rogue CIA agent and his team of assassins, Rick isn’t surprised when his road to the truth leads directly to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
