Synopsis

I was inspired to write this book after a career as an investigative reporter for The Hartford Courant for more than four decades and then afterward as a freelance newsman. Once I started writing, I couldn't stop. It was simultaneously the most difficult, yet inspiring tasks of my life. Editors, news sources and subjects constantly looked over my shoulder. Fortunately, I was only sued once for liable and ultimately after endless, aggravating days at trial, the newspaper, three of my news sources and I won. Only I researched and wrote that story after months of investigation. That made probes much more intense and nerve wracking than when I worked with wondrous news investigative reporters as partners and full witnesses to the day-by-day interviews and lengthy research. This book is also an autobiographical explanation highlighting scores of inspirations which led to my investigative career in journalism.

About the Author

Thomas "Dennie" Williams, an investigative freelance writer, worked at The Hartford Courant for almost 40 years before retiring in November 2005 to become an investigative reporter on the Internet. He graduated from the Choate School in 1958 and Middlebury College in 1962. I was inspired to write this book from working more than four decades as an investigative reporter for The Hartford Courant and afterward as a freelance newsman. Once I started writing, I couldn't stop. It was simultaneously the most difficult, yet inspiring tasks of my life. Editors, news sources and subjects constantly looked over the shoulder. Fortunately, I was only sued once for liable and ultimately after endless, aggravating days at trial, the newspaper, three of my news sources and I won! Only I researched and wrote that story after months of investigation. That made probes much more intense and nerve wracking than when I worked with wondrous news investigative reporters as partners and full witnesses to the day-by-day interviews and lengthy research. But the book is as well an autobiographical explanation showing scores of inspirations which led to my investigative career in journalism. This partially explains its title.
