Yes, it is the same Al Roker you see every morning on NBC's "Today" show. He uses his experience to put together, with Dick Lochte, a murder mystery that involves people on a morning TV show.

Billy Blessing, the main character, is a mainstay on the program "Wake Up America". Blessing is responsible for the cooking segment of the show and owns a very popular Bistro. He also has his own show on another network called, "Blessings in the Kitchen".

The networks head honcho, Rudy Gallagher, is murdered ands Billy Blessing becomes a prime suspect. Blessing uses friends in the business to try and get to the bottom of the murder. He finds that Rudy's death may well go back to when he took a trip to Afghanistan and was passed some vital information by a group of mercenaries.

After Rudy's death, the mercenaries are murdered one by one and still Blessing remains the prime suspect. Blessing is also receiving threats from "Felix the Cat", a known assassin for hire.

Everyone in the book now becomes suspect either as "The Murderer" or "Felix the Cat".

The kidnapping of his co-host, Gin McCauley and her boyfriend, Ted Parkhurst, becomes a major turning point in the story.

Oh, I forgot to mention that a Mossad agent is about to be interviewed by Blessing ands is about to tell all on the air.

"The Morning Show Murders" is a delightful read and a book suitable for everyone. It combines mystery with a little bit of laughter at the expense of those in the TV industry.
