About the Book

It began with a wire, a shotgun, and a man who refused to be ignored. On a freezing morning in February 1977, Indianapolis stood still. Tony Kiritsis, a desperate businessman drowning in debt and betrayal, marched his mortgage broker through downtown with a shotgun wired to the man's neck-while reporters rolled film and America held its breath. For sixty-three hours, the nation witnessed madness in real time. Dead Man's Wire: The True Story of the Man Who Held America Hostage on Live TV plunges readers into one of the most extraordinary standoffs in U.S. history-before smartphones, before social media, when the evening news was the only window into chaos. Told with the tension of a thriller and the depth of narrative nonfiction, this book captures how one man's rage, pride, and unraveling mind turned a private grievance into a public reckoning. Few people know that Kiritsis wasn't simply lashing out-he was making a statement about a system that he believed had strangled the honest working man. What you're about to discover will change how you see justice, insanity, and the thin line between the two. From the icy streets of Indianapolis to the sweltering courtroom where the nation demanded answers, every page pulses with real events and raw human truth. If you're drawn to gripping true crime, psychological drama, or the strange ways media can turn tragedy into spectacle, this is the story that will stay under your skin long after you've turned the last page. Why it matters: Because the world still hasn't learned the lesson Tony tried to teach-that when no one listens, someone always finds a way to make them. Ready to uncover the truth? Get your copy of Dead Man's Wire today and experience the moment America lost its breath-live.
