All the Demons Are Here: A Thriller (The Charlie and Margaret Marder Mysteries)
Bestselling author Jake Tapper's "absolute page-turner" (Gillian Flynn) transports readers to the 1970s underground world of cults, celebrities, tabloid journalism, serial killers, disco, and UFOs.
It's 1977. Ike and Lucy, the kids of Senator Charlie and Margaret Marder, are grown up-and in trouble.
US Marine Ike has gone AWOL after a military operation gone horribly wrong. Now he's off the grid, working on the pit crew of the moody stunt master Evel Knievel and hanging in the roughest dive bar in Montana. His sister Lucy has become the star reporter of a brand-new Washington, DC tabloid breaking stories about a serial killer and falling in with the wealthy, shady British family that owns the newspaper.
As they deal with the weirdness and menace of the time-celebrities, cults, the rise of tabloid journalism, the death of Elvis Presley, the Summer of Sam, and a time of national unease-Ike and Lucy soon realize that their worlds are not only full of compromises and bad choices, but danger. As their lives begin to spiral out of control, they also spiral towards one another. And the decisions they make could mean life and death not only for them-but also their beloved parents.

Editorial Reviews
"Jake Tapper has become a master storyteller with his dazzling skill of weaving real people and events with a cast of characters as gripping as any in fiction."
―Michael Connelly
"Jake Tapper's latest, All The Demons Are Here, is an absolute page-turner chronicling the continuing adventures of the Marder clan. Evel Knievel? Check. UFOs? Check? A serial killer stalking the nation's capital? Check. And all set during one of America's secretly weirdest years: 1977. Powered by dual protagonists Ike and Lucy Marder, the book sends the reader pinballing across America, looking for answers in a strange, post-Watergate world. Tapper's deep knowledge of American history is on display, as is his obvious love of American pop culture- the good, the bad, and the bizarre. ‘Merica, baby!!!!"

How is cnn giving this guy all this airtime for free to talk about fiction that’s not news. It’s offensive.

I love these Jake Rapper books. This third one in the series goes off the rails at times, mainly with the early chapters on Ike Marder. Its still a very fun read.

I've read "The Devil May Dance" and "The Hellfire Club" and was hoping this new book, "All The Demons Are Here" would be as good and I wasn't disappointed.......I love the way Mr. Tapper weaves figures we know and historical events into his stories. He's a great writer and I can't wait until his next book comes out! One would never know from watching Mr. Tapper on "The Lead" on TV, what a great sense of humor he has; he's a smart man for sure and writes a good story!

Another great book by Jake Tapper, a great news reporter. I like his story series because it builds upon the same characters, so far from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. All made wonderful use of contemporary persons of note along with many unique facts of each era. I particularly identified with this story, having been in my 20s in the 70s as well as serving in the military at a challenging time. At first I was a bit put off in the Ike/Lucy chapter format until the stories developed and became intertwined, it actually made the script stronger. If I struggled to find a criticism, it’s that each Tapper ending seems written for Hollywood. Real life is seldom that exciting nor heart-stopping. But it’s hard to actually call it a criticism. I found the book a fast read, mostly because I was unwilling to put it down as the story developed and moved toward its crescendo. I was disappointed when I ran out of story, I wanted it to keep going. Well Mr Tapper, get back to work! I’m waiting for your 80s episode. Ollie North and the Iran Contra Affair? The fall of the Berlin Wall? I have more.
