Author: John Dunning. New York. 2001. Scribner. Special Advance Reader's Copy. Widely acclaimed for his groundbreaking crime novels BOOKED TO DIE and THE BOOKMAN'S WAKE, award-winning author John Dunning triumphantly returns with a riveting new thriller that takes us back to the summer of 1942, when radio was in its prime, when daylight saving time gave way to ‘wartime,' when stations like WHAR on the New Jersey coast struggled to create programming that entertained and inspired a nation in its dark hour. In a stunning novel that transcends genre, John Dunning calls upon his vast knowledge of radio and his incisive reading of history to create a poignant, page-turning work of fiction that sheds new insights on some of the most harrowing events of the twentieth century.
