About the Book

Bestselling author Jake Tapper’s newest thriller transports readers to the 1970s underground world of cults, celebrities, tabloid journalism, serial killers, disco, and UFOs.

It’s 1977. Ike and Lucy, the kids of Senator Charlie and Margaret Marder, are grown up—and in trouble. As they deal with the weirdness and menace of the time—celebrities, cults, the rise of tabloid journalism, the death of Elvis Presley, the Summer of Sam, and a time of national unease—Ike and Lucy soon realize that their worlds are not only full of compromises and bad choices, but danger. The decisions they make could mean life and death not only for them—but also their beloved parents.
