Ever wonder about the people behind the television news desk? These people present and analyze the news twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. But who are they the newscasters, commentators, pundits, show hostsand how are they selected? The Anchor is an uproarious novel of a TV news anchorman and his scheming agent in pursuit of the television interview of a lifetime. On their way they encounter incompetent gangsters, conniving Sicilian politicians, Italian cuisine, scoundrel TV executives, pretentious TV pundits and a crusading newsman out to save TV news.
