Book Description
The irrepressible heroine of Manhattan Is My Beat and Death of a Blue Movie Star is back

Rune has now graduated to the first rung on the ladder of film documentary success - a major New York network news department. Once there, she finds herself being inexorably drawn to the brutal murder of the network head, and to the young drifter accused of his death, who, she swiftly becomes convinced, could not have been the killer. Despite the weight of evidence against the young man, Rune decides to try to prove his innocence, and finds an unlikely - and untrustworthy - ally in bitchy-but-powerful anchorwoman, Piper Sutton.

But it's not just the accused who has problems. With her meddling, Rune has herself attracted some unwelcome attention. There's a hitman in town and it seems that she's the target...

"Deaver writes with clarity, compassion, and intelligence, and with a decidely human and contemporary slant."
