Summary:

In the tradition of Laura Lippman, Jan Brogan delivers this
page-turner about anot-so-crackerjack reporter investigating a murder
set amidst the illicit dangers of gambling and addiction. Hallie
Ahern was a big time investigative reporter in Boston until she
compromised a story for the man she loved-who turned out to be Mr.
Wrong. Now, she's trying to put her life back together in Rhode
Island, working at a tiny satellite bureau of The Providence Morning
Chronicle. Then, one late night on her way home from the supermarket,
she witnesses a murder. The police think it was a robbery gone awry,
but Hallie can't let it go.This could be her opportunity to reenter
the world of investigative journalism, something she wasn't aware she
even wanted to do, and she begins digging into the victim's gambling
past. But there's more to this crime than meets the eye, and Hallie
soon finds both her job and her life on the line.
