Don't Touch That Dial!

In the cutthroat world of evening news, where "if it bleeds it leads" is the industry's lifeblood, the dead-last BCN network is hemorrhaging viewers.

On the chopping block is million-dollar anchor Kitty Coughlin, who is one ratings point away from early termination.

But when a group of armed men hijack her plane and stage a spectacular near-miss of one of America's most famous landmarks, Kitty's eyewitness account helps BCN achieve a remarkable ratings rally.

Kitty is riding high...until the ratings bubble bursts and her career goes back on life support.

Then the next catastrophe strikes.

Wherever Kitty Coughlin goes, disaster -- and ratings gold -- follows.

Is Kitty's uncanny ability to be at the center of the news storm sheer dumb luck or very bad news?

Harold W. Smith of the supersecret agency CURE knows a thing or two about disaster management.

He sends in Remo Williams and the remarkable Chiun to tune in, turn off, and pull the plug on whoever is putting Americans at risk.

Reviews

“A fantastic reemergence of a classic character.

Remo and Chiun are back (and) they could not be in better hands.” —Bruce Grossman, bookgasm.com on Guardian Angel

“(Remo’s) talents and stunts are nothing short of spectacular, hearkening back to pulp heroes like Doc Savage and the Shadow. The mayhem that surrounds (him) is both chaotic and hilarious.” —R.J Carter, TheTrades.com on Guardian Angel

“(Murphy and Mullaney) have brought back the fun and satirical wit that made the (Destroyer series) so much fun to read.” —Midwest Book Review
