Description

Format: Mass Market Paperback, 290pp. ISBN: 0380788756 Publisher: Morrow,William & Co Pub. Date: January 1997 Until her paper, the BALTIMORE STAR, crashed and burned, Tess Monaghan was a damn good reporter who knew her hometown intimately-from historic Fort McHenry to the crumbling projects of Cherry Hill. Now gainfully unemployed at twenty-nine, she's willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent-including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost everyday, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety-and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancee-make the case front page news...and points to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence couls prove costly to Tess-and add her name to that infamous ever-growing list.Until her paper, the BALTIMORE STAR, crashed and burned, Tess Monaghan was a damn good reporter who knew her hometown intimately-from historic Fort McHenry to the crumbling projects of Cherry Hill.
