Synopsis
Once again, journalist Molly Forrester takes Manhattan—and this time, she'll do whatever it takes to get a KILLER by-line…if it doesn't kill her first.
"You need a body. A really cool dead body…"
Molly's best friends know exactly what the Zeitgeist magazine advice columnist needs to prove herself as a true journalist. So when Manhattan advertising maverick Garth Henderson turns up dead, Molly finally gets her chance by landing an exclusive interview with Gwen Lincoln, the victim's ex-wife and the prime suspect. But if solving the ad world's most sensational murder isn't enough, Molly must deal with a fickle editor with her own agenda and her boyfriend, who happens to be a sexy NYPD homicide detective. Now Molly must hit the ground running in her four-inch Jimmy Choos if she's going to finish her story before the killer puts the "dead" in her deadline….
