A reporter for the Bergen News, Chris Turley could never measure up to his father. Edward Turley,�a combination of Bob Woodward and Ernie Pyle,�was�one of the last great investigative reporters and a difficult man to impress. While stuck�covering�press conferences�and town hall meetings, Chris, his father's legend in mind, has always dreamed of his own�Pulitzer, however unlikely it seems.

Then one day while he's waiting to meet a source,�a�giant explosion takes out half of an office building next door. Shocked into action, Chris saves five people from the�burning building. His firsthand account�in the next day's paper makes him a hero and a celebrity.

And�that's not all. The source's next tip�delivers a second headline-grabber of a story for Chris, and suddenly his career is looking a lot more like his dad's.�But then it seems this anonymous source has had a plan for Chris all along, and his luck for being in the right place at the right time is not a coincidence at all. What seemed like a reporter's dream quickly becomes an inescapable nightmare.

Down to the Wire, David Rosenfelt's shocking new thriller about an ordinary man who gets exactly what he's always wanted at a price he can never pay, is an intense thrill ride that will have readers racing through the pages right up to the end.
