Join us in welcoming Jeffrey L. Diamond author of “All Cameras Live: An Ethan Benson Thriller”. Copies are available for purchase and signing.
Jeffrey L Diamond, an award-winning producer with forty years of experience in television news, has completed his new book, “All Cameras Live: An Ethan Benson Thriller”: a gripping thriller that follows an investigative journalist who begins delving into four fatal fires that have all been declared accidents by the police. As he inches closer and closer to uncovering the truth, Ethan soon finds himself in danger by those who would rather the truth remain buried, all while his sobriety and career hang on by a thread.
“With his career at GBS News on the line as he battles to stay sober, Ethan Benson receives a newspaper clipping in the mail about a beautiful, young woman who’s been killed in a spectacular fire in a small, suburban community just outside Springfield, Massachusetts. It is the fourth fire and the fourth death in a little over a year, and while the local authorities have ruled them accidental, Ethan suspects foul play and travels to the scene of the crimes in search of the truth. Scared, alone, and desperate for a Scotch, he begins digging into the facts, using his award-winning skills as an investigative reporter to unearth an insidious conspiracy and find a killer with a horrifying secret,” writes Diamond.
“Piece by piece, he follows the clues as he builds his case and produces his story. Along the way, he is threatened by the authorities, hunted by a hitman, blown up by a car bomb, and saved by a beautiful young woman, the sister of the last victim, who becomes not only one of his key sources but also a pillar of strength as he battles his demons and hangs on to his sobriety. Like the other three ‘Ethan Benson’ thrillers in the series, ‘All Cameras Live’ is steeped in the world of television news with confrontational interviews, production deadlines, camera crews, a mercurial anchorman, and all the cutthroat political intrigue that characterizes the real world of television news. Ethan is a modern-day journalist and an intrepid crime sleuth who uses his skills as a producer/reporter to cull through the facts, read between the lines, and seek justice where justice is all but forgotten.”
