The President is dead.

Cal Drummond is hiding out deep in the woods of the American South when he hears the news. Once a famous talk show host, he is now a disgraced man living a solitary existence in a cabin, drinking Jack Daniels, enjoying the cover of the trees, and getting on with life as Hank MacPhearson.

But this news—and the journalist who delivers it—will have consequences that reach far back into Cal's past. They threaten his new life and identity, but they also throw him one final chance: it was an interview that brought about his downfall, but could it be another one, this time with him in the hotseat, that could bring him back to life?

Taking the reader from Scotland to Mexico and from California to Georgia,The Interviewis a novel not only about speaking truth to power, but also about speaking truth to oneself.
