That's the outline of the latest book from renowned bestselling author Sidney Shelton.Shortly after the book was published, it reached the top of the world bestseller list in 2000.Like all his works, this novel is fast-paced, concise in language, numerous in scenes, tense in plot and full of suspense, which makes people unable to stop after reading. With the gaze of the heroine Dana, we see the real American family under the flashy appearance.The Winthrop family headed by Taylor Winthrop (some readers think it alludes to the famous Kennedy family in the United States) is wealthy and powerful, and is famous for its dedication to politics and generosity and compassion.However, with Dana's cocoons peeling off layer by layer, what is revealed to the readers is the ugliness behind the scenes: in Washington, Taylor, who donated millions of dollars at every turn, refused to pay the secretary's salary; In Rome, Taylor, who has three adult children, seduced the minister's 16-year-old daughter, made her pregnant and had a miscarriage Lifelong infertility; in Brussels, Taylor ran over and killed the son of the French ambassador by drunken driving, but used money to bribe others to take the blame, and fled by himself; Stealing and betraying, which leads to murder...

Taylor Winthrop embodies the characteristics of certain Western politicians: on the surface, they shoulder heavy responsibilities, are dedicated to the public, and work hard for national affairs all the year round; in life, they are generous and help the poor. Build up the image of a saint.So what about their personalities?Money and power eat their souls.They are hypocritical, stingy, dissolute, ruthless, intriguing, and evading responsibility. They should have paid a heavy price for this, but they escaped safely and sat calmly in high positions. The sex scandal of the President of the United States has made people a little more credible to the typical character of Taylor Winthrop.

But, is there no one to stand up and fight against evil forces like Taylor?Have.As the protagonist of this book, Dana Evans is undoubtedly the embodiment of justice.She is beautiful, kind, and has a keen sense of news, but what is more valuable is her bravery and adventurous spirit.She dared to explore the truth of the matter and risked her life, disguised as a prostitute to go to the most important place.We just followed her footsteps and uncovered the evil hidden behind the halo step by step.In today's information society, as the messenger of information, the function of the news media is becoming more and more obvious, and its role in social life is also increasing.Just as General Booth in the article said that reporters are a group of people who expose scandals. They supervise the government, criticize the current evils, criticize the scandals, and praise the good.Without a courageous reporter like Dana, the scandals of Taylor Winthrop's ilk would never have been seen, justice would have been denied, and people would have been blinded forever.

Therefore, when we lament the corruption scandals such as Taylor Winthrop that harm the country and the people, we should also applaud the supervisory role played by news and public opinion, and we should also applaud Dana for the group of journalists who have dedicated themselves to justice.
