Written by Arthur Hailey - Performed by Fritz Weaver - Abridged Fiction - 2 CASSETTES - 3 hours

Publisher, Bantam Doubleday Dell (April 1990)

For more than thirty years, millions have thrilled to Arthur Hailey's uniquely powerful novels, including Airport, Hotel, and Wheels. Now his latest blockbuster comes to electrifying life in this exciting three-hour abridgment. With a special performance by Fritz Weaver, The Evening News takes you behind the cameras and beyond the sound bites of the billion-dollar news industry and, in true Hailey tradition, reveals an explosive world rife with ethical dilemmas and mortal danger.

At the center of the action are Crawford Sloane, suave, unflappable anchorman of CBA News, and stellar correspondent Harry Partridge, Sloane's colleague and competitor. For twenty years they have battled for the same assignments — and loved the same woman. Now her life depends on their ability to fight together against two formidable enemies: the ironhanded new president of the network who has vowed to squeeze the company's budget, regardless of the moral cost... and a brutal band of terrorists plotting to seize control of the CBA airwaves.

From the war zones of Vietnam to the steel-and-glass offices of Globanic Industries, Inc., and from the newsrooms of WCBA-TV to the jungles of Peru, Arthur Hailey spins a tale of financial greed, sexual heat, and international terrorism that is destined to be his greatest triumph.

About the Performer: Fritz Weaver has appeared in the feature film Marathon Man. Recent television appearances include the Hallmark Movie of the Week, My Name is Bill W and Murder She Wrote.
