JUST THE TRUTH

A newswoman battles a powerful bureaucracy to keep journalism, a free press—and truth—alive.

Set in Washington, DC, in the near future, Just the Truth portrays the threats to a free press in the era of growing political power and the courageous spirit of one journalist who risks her career, her reputation—and ultimately her life— to investigate suspicious activities that might just manipulate an upcoming presidential election.

“Our society needs more entertaining novels that bring to life the importance of a responsible and independent press, an accountable government, and the rule of law. Gen LaGreca’s Just the Truth does exactly that. This book isn’t only for those who care about modern threats to our country’s founding principles, but for anyone looking for a great political thriller.”
