From the Publisher
"In False Light, Eric Dezenhall combines a wickedly funny take on the demise of journalism and the fragility of reputation in the Internet era, with a clear-eyed view of the complex costs of sexual predation, despite the best efforts of the #metoo movement. A grown-up fantasy for our troubled times.” —David O. Stewart, author of The Lincoln Deception "No one knows the world of damage control better than Eric Dezenhall. His portrait of what a savvy operator can do in a crisis is as real as this vehicle for talking about the battles between good and evil. You'll feel like you're reading or watching an expose on national television—or getting to see the whole truth of what our real world doesn’t tell you. Highly entertaining and informative." —James Grady, author of Six Days of the Condor “False Light is The Big Chill of the #metoo era—I want the soundtrack of this terrific, timely book! I also want a buddy like the hilarious, loyal Sandy “Fuse” Petty. On probation either because he’s too old or too good, Fuse has the press chops to help his friend’s daughter when her internship with a celebrity goes south. All he wants is justice, and for his teenage daughter to laugh at his jokes.” —Mary Kay Zuravleff, author of Man Alive! “Eric Dezenhall is a genius writer, and False Light is a masterwork—smart, funny, unpredictable, freewheeling, and start-to-finish entertaining. The plotting is brilliant, the dialogue always sharp. Better yet, perhaps, this novel is a good-news reminder that we can always find measures of virtue and fairness and hard truth in justice’s difficult alchemy.” —Martin Clark, author of The Substitution Order “For any parent who spends sleepless nights worrying about what could happen when the universe gets ahold of their child, False Light is an acerbic tale of revenge in the form of reputation obliteration, the only currency a certain type of climber understands. Eric Dezenhall mixes the serious topics of our times with a riotous look at middle-aged crushes, long marriages, insane relatives, and fears of professional obsolescence.”
—Lee Woodruff, author of Those We Love Most "No one knows the world of damage control better than Eric Dezenhall. His portrait of what a savvy operator can do in a crisis is as real as this vehicle for talking about the battles between good and evil. You'll feel like you're reading or watching an exposé on national television—or getting to see the whole truth of what our real world doesn’t tell you. Highly entertaining and informative." —James Grady, author of Six Days of the Condor
