Superstar radio host Marty Michaels has spent the last twenty years using his vast fame and power to destroy the lives and careers of celebrities and politicians. It didn't matter how flimsy the evidence against the person was,as far as Marty was concerned,there was no smoke without fire.Not once did he spare a second thought for the many lives he ruined in the process.
Marty revels in his perfect life and believes he is untouchable but he swiftly discovers that power comes at a price after he wakes up in a hotel room with a raging hangover and the dead body of a young woman in his bathroom.
Marty has been set up and finds that the hunter had become the hunted.Not knowing who he can trust,or where he can turn and with the media world he once ruled now baying for his blood,Marty finds himself in a desperate fight against a powerful criminal network as he tries to save his life,his job...and his life.
This fast paced,adrenaline ride is written in short,snappy chapters,many of which end on a cliff hanger giving the reader a very bad case of Just one more chapter syndrome. The story is voiced entirely from Marty's perspective. I felt a number of conflicting emotions as I read his desperate and at times bumbling attempts to clear his name. He was a complex character who could be very arrogant and had a massive sense of his own importance. But he also had some redeemable qualities. I found myself torn between thinking that he deserved everything he was going through and feeling sympathy for him. The secondary characters were a mixed bunch of diverse,realistic personalities and the story was so well written and intricately plotted that I suspected each one of them at sometime during the book of being involved in the scheme to ruin Marty's life.
Deadly Secrets is one hell of a roller coaster ride that holds the reader in a vice like grip from the very first page. You find yourself pinned to your comfy chair,captivated by the many twists and turns,frantically turning the pages and unable to put this enthralling thriller down. I would love to watch a film adaptation of this book. It deserves far more than five stars. Highly recommended by little old me.
