The Last American Wizard (36 page)

"
An action-packed tale of murder and political intrigue set in the politically turbulent 1970s.... Irving portrays [courier Rick Putnam] as a classic pulp- fiction hero: a chiseled, chain-smoking ex-soldier who's always ready with snappy quips. ... Irving's story is relentlessly paced, punctuated by bursts of action and violence, and driven by artfully unfolding suspense....
An exciting and
gritty…thriller."

“Rick Putnam is a recent Vietnam vet in the early 1970s who works as a courier for a Washington, DC television station while trying to put his life back together after being injured in the war...."Courier" is a tense story set in the days before social media, when news professionals still need to develop film in a dark room and splice footage together. Author Irving clearly knows the inside of the news business in a different
time..."

"To call Terry Irving's book a "page turner" is a gross
understatement. As a journalist who covered Vietnam developments in Washington, and the Watergate scandal, this book is entirely believable, scary, and thrilling. Irving is in the top tier of political- mystery writers. And as a (ABC) network producer, he draws on a vast inside knowledge to keep readers glued to every page. If you
like politics and a good mystery, you will love this
book."

"With all the power and speed of a motorcycle courier trying to beat
a deadline, and the cyclist's fine balance of thriller thrust and inside- the-newsroom detail, Terry Irving's new novel, "Courier," will keep you entertained from start to
finish."
