Description
Loincloth: Murder by Media is a murder mystery that examines the dramatic effect that TV, radio, print, and social media can have on public opinion.
"Frighteningly realistic....This taut, scathing examination of new and traditional media elevates a no-frills whodunit." Kirkus Reviews
A high-profile media executive is found murdered in San Francisco wearing only small shredded rags. A San Francisco Detective steers his investigation through a maze of issues including the local drug scene, corporate heel dragging, and the power of social and traditional media. The victim's widow desperately tries to hold her family together despite the daily assault of negative media speculation. We also meet a uniquely boisterous TV host, a violent hate group, a no-nonsense loan shark, a national LGBTQ group, and a financially desperate family acquaintance who garners national attention when he develops a plan to personally profit from the homicide.
Loincloth examines the power of modern media can be utilized to influence and manipulate public opinion.
