THE INSIDE RING

An assassin's bullets ring out in rural Georgia, and the president is wounded. Was someone from the "Inside Ring" of the Secret Service involved? Writer Michael Lawson peoples his work with some truly vile characters, brought to life by Peter Bradbury. Bradbury's Michael DeMarco, the unofficial investigator employed by a powerful Congressman, is a credible good guy, not a superhero. With the perfect inflection, Bradbury makes us feel DeMarco's pain as he confronts a Georgia despot with a stranglehold on his home county. Bradbury slips effortlessly from Southern drawl to a New York wiseguy accent as the investigation leads all over the country, even back to a certain incident in Dallas, 1963.
