The victim, fresh out of journalism school, hoped to make a splash at the Trib - and then a maintenance man found her in a supply closet, brutally strangled to death. The Trib's journalists are at once horrified and anxious to solve the crime before the cops do, and put this scandal to rest. But the Metropolitan Police Department isn't going to let byline-hungry reporters get in the way of its investigation, and soon enough the journalists and the cops have established warring task forces. Then a second woman is killed, in Franklin Square. Like the first, she was young, attractive, and worked in the media.
For veteran Trib reporter Joe Wilcox, whose career is mired in frustration and disappointment, the case strikes close to home. His daughter is a beautiful rising TV news star. As his relationship with a female MPD detective grows more intimate, Joe sees a chance to renew himself as a reporter and as a man. Spearheading the Trib's investigation, he baits a trap for the killer with a secret from his own past.
Suddenly Joe is risking his career, his marriage, and even his daughter's life by playing a dangerous game with a possible serial killer, while a police detective is bending rules for the reporter she likes and trusts but may not know as well as she thinks she does. As Joe's daughter finds herself trapped at the heart of a frantic manhunt, the walls come down between family, friendship, ethics, and ambition - and a killer hides in plain sight.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, especially if they like a really good twist and turn story that ultimately had a moral to it.....Actually a few!!What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?
This is where I had a problem with the audiobook. Dick Hill does Jack Reacher really well.... It threw me when all of a sudden I'm hearing Reacher. in the dialogue. OK that's a me thing. All in all, Dick Hill is good. The characters are easily identifiable in the reading.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Joe realized how stupid he was in what he did.Even the Might Fall

Great read

By the middle of the book the plot had improved. This is a "who dunnit" story and I couldn't guess the answer or the circumstances ahead of time. In fact, I made a point to be sure I could listen to the last 90 minutes without interruption because I was anxious to know the solution.
This book did not appeal to me as much as some of the earlier books that involve politics and the arts. However it was far better than a more recent title written by Donald Bain.
There is no graphic sex or violence and little or no lewd language.
Slow Start, Great Ending
