## Description

desertcart.com: Fake: 9781939521767: Dedakis, John: Books

Review: Relevant issues, wonderful characters - In Fake, readers are treated to the gritty yet compassionate news reporter Lark Chadwick, a woman on the hot seat throughout most of the novel. The first lady unexpectedly dies in Lark’s presence, the catalyst for Lark’s own downward spiral. The fast-paced mystery is packed with action and many startling revelations, but manages to balance those with heart-warming scenes and a satisfying ending. Readers will feel invested in Lark’s future, and thankfully, with the next installment coming later this year, we can delve deeper into her world. This fifth in the series by former White House correspondent John DeDakis gave this reader exactly what she hoped for: an inside view of journalism and politics that mirrors our current divided viewpoints surrounding mass media. DeDakis, through his riveting fiction, dares to tell a story with such realism, the alarm bells are still ringing in my head.
Review: A well written expose of a cultural nightmare - John DeDakis brings us a stinging indictment of today’s ‘journalistic’ wars in his latest novel. Fake follows Lark Chadwick, White House Correspondent, as she navigates the sometimes seedy underbelly of supposition, innuendo, and rumor, only to find she has become the story everyone is chasing. As the true scope of her troubles unfold, she is forced to rely on back channels, old friends, and unknown intentions, to expose the truth. DeDakis has triumphed, writing an engaging and faced paced political thrilller I found impossible to put down. As a man writing a female character, it just doesn’t get better than this. The strength, compassion, and vulnerability of Lark shines through, and is a timely and accurate view of the issues we face today.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Murder in High Places
*by A***O on September 18, 2023*

Author John DeDakis, a former editor on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" and a one-time White House correspondent, has created a gripping thriller with the pulse of real-life power politics. Lark Chadwick is a savvy journalist with a soft heart. She's thrown into a nightmare of an assignment: cover the death of Rose Gannon, the President's wife. Lark's the logical choice because Rose died while Lark was interviewing her, but Lark's torn with emotion. The dead woman was also her friend. Law enforcement investigation determines it's murder. Lark is embroiled in cutthroat politics that cost her her job and Rose's death takes on international implications. Did the Russians murder Rose Gannon to destabilize American politics, and did someone set up Lark to take the fall?
