Publisher's Synopsis
William Meridian, weatherman for a big city television station, seems on his way to a contented marriage and a safe career until a series of events shatter the cohesion of both his personal and professional lives, and steer him into an odyssey of nightmarish excess. The book takes the reader through a profanely etched maelstrom of sexual betrayal, murder, unfettered drug use, and the cynical world of "reality" television, or more simply, the dark side of fame. Crafted with a razor-sharp eye, A Controlled Burn literally does what the title suggests: burns its way into the imagination with its frenetic energy and feverish pace.
