Ms. Mirage

Exposure collection

By: Joe Tone

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

When an investigative journalist’s bold and infamous undercover sting laid bare graft-ridden 1970s Chicago from inside a dummy pub, she became a star among men. But could she win the big one?

In the era of Watergate and rising feminist awareness, reporter Pam Zekman was queen of the muckrakers. Her biggest investigation: buy a bar, document the inevitable city department shakedowns and bribes, and publicly document Chicago’s institutionalized corruption. Her epic story changed Chicago and also raised serious questions about the future of journalism.

Joe Tone’s Ms. Mirage is part of Exposure, a collection of six incredible and true stories of American double lives from millionaire CEOs and suburban teens to undercover investigators and scam artists - all for whom secrets are a way of life. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single astonished sitting.

interesting history

too bad the only investigators are people like Project Veritas and Judicial Watch who fight the system like this lady did

took off like a rocket

story was somewhat confusing at the start but took off like a rocket and was very compelling right down to the end

pretty neat

not the best story but for a short it was alright I enjoyed it just not the best in the series

Great Story About Chicago Corruption!

Thanks Pam Z. for the many years of dedicated service ! Uncovering corruption in Chicago is more than a full-time job and a lifetime! I hope someone can investigate the sweep of murders holding Chicago hostage. The reports of gang warfare doesn't ring true. There's a bigger story. Unfortunately, the days of true investigative reporting are nearly gone.

Looking for short stories

I am new to Audiobooks and find short stories a great way to get into it. I enjoyed this one.
