“The Devil May Dance” is a sequel to Tapper’s 2018 New York Times best selling-debut novel “The HellFire Club,” which will become a series by HBO Max. This time, lead characters Charlie and Margaret Marder discover the dark side of Hollywood after being sent there by Attorney General Robert Kennedy to investigate a national security threat. They befriend Frank Sinatra, a close friend of President John F. Kennedy and rumored mob crony, which leads to late-night adventures with the Rat Pack and a body in the trunk of their car. The Marders are pursued by sinister forces from Hollywood stages to the newly founded Church of Scientology.

Publishers Weekly describes the novel as an “excellent cocktail of corruption and ambition." 

Tapper joined CNN in 2013 after nine years at ABC News where he served most recently as chief White House correspondent. He began his journalism career at Washington City paper followed by Salon.com. He has also drawn caricatures and illustrations for the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, and his comic strip, "Capitol Hell," appeared in Roll Call from 1994 to 2003.
