Produktbeschreibung
When a shadowy American diplomatic complex is attacked in North Africa, the White House is besieged by conspiracy theories and accusations of incompetence. Worried he's been misled, the president turns to political fixers Peter Rena and Randi Brooks to find the truth. The investigators plunge headfirst into the furtive world of foreign intelligence and national security, and quickly become convinced of a coverup. Their job is complicated further when press leaks blow the incident into an all-out public scandal: Congress opens hearings and a tireless national security reporter publishes a bombshell exposé. Now, Rena and Brooks are caught in the middle. The White House wants to prevent fallout that would debilitate the president, the military is in shutdown mode, the press is hungry for another big story, and politicians in both parties seem interested only in themselves. Rena and Brooks, navigating a capital that seems intent on self-destruction, learn the hard way that the truth is more complicated than they have always believed. With intelligence, style, and a breakneck pace, The Good Lie explores the contours of high-level national security, political dysfunction, and the dangers of a never-ending war.
