2025 The BookFest Fall Awards Second Place in True CrimeWhile No One's Watching is a shocking exposé of government corruption, greed, cronyism, and abuse of authority in Kentucky, based on investigative reports from former special agent turned investigative journalist Darlene Fitzgerald Price. Drawing from her extensive work on the TV, radio, and internet series, Truth or Politics, Price uncovers a troubling pattern of misconduct and cover-ups that have gone unchecked for years.From a mayor's scheme to dump millions of gallons of toxic waste through a defective wastewater treatment plant into public waterways, to law enforcement evidence rooms where drugs, cash, and crucial case materials disappear without a trace, Price exposes a system designed to protect the powerful at the expense of the public. She details brazen abuses-police officers manipulating evidence, state agencies burying environmental crimes, and officials profiting from negligence-all enabled by a lack of oversight and accountability.With over 14 years of fearless reporting and meticulous documentation, Price delivers an unflinching account of corruption hidden in plain sight. While No One's Watching reveals how public officials manipulate the system for their own gain, while those entrusted to uphold the law operate with near-total impunity. This eye-opening account challenges readers to question what really happens behind closed doors when there is no accountability-and no one watching.
