Considered the finest local TV news anchor in the business, Sue McPhee walked away from a great job at Channel 6 in Los Angeles. She's taken an offer at Channel 9 in Miami, and it's for less money - but she's just seeking a lifestyle change at this point. Sue thought making the move from the number two media market to number sixteen would bring her a slower pace and a little of that Margaritaville state of mind. But not a chance. NewsChannel 9 is staffed by the people anyone who has ever worked in TV news will instantly recognize. For the reader who's only been a consumer of this product, get ready to see the grit behind the glamour - as ambition, lust, ego, manipulation and deceit run rampant. Add in the county medical examiner who thinks Florida's 'presumed consent' law lets him do anything he wishes with bodies in his custody, plus a vindictive and violent ex-husband and a vicious narco-terrorist who's among the FBI's Ten Most Wanted. It's set against the exotic backdrop of Miami, 'America's Casablanca', just as a hurricane with winds equal to an EF5 tornado mysteriously explodes into existence. Summer Fury is filled with unforgettable characters, and offers the most realistic look you will ever have at the inner workings of a TV newsroom, courtesy of an author who spent over 20 years as a TV weatherman in Miami. The attention to detail in the story is painstaking, and the reader will also learn many interesting facts from this tale as well, about the TV news business, Miami, hurricanes, and more. Between 1981 and 2004, author Gary Travers was on-air, at separate times, for WPLG Channel 10 (ABC), WFOR Channel 4 (CBS), and WTVJ Channel 6 (NBC).
