ALL HE FEELS IS RAGE.

His father is dead. His lover is dead. Friends are gone or still recovering. The newsroom staff is exhausted. Everyone is looking to Cage Washington to show them the way through this crisis, and he has nothing to give them.

Cage is the co-Editor-In-Chief of the Eyewitness News at Portland State University. He's filmed the Black Lives Matter protests for months now. He's tried to capture the downtown emptied by the COVID virus and then ravaged by tear gas that clings everywhere. The newsroom needs him, his lover needs him, and maybe everyone is right — the city needs him.

But he has nothing to give. All he feels is rage, and he's afraid it will burn everything to ashes if he ever loses control.

Book 5 in the political suspense series Newsroom PDX.

Some sex, foul language. Lots of politics. It's Portland.
