Publisher Comments:

A Pulitzer Prize-winning ex-reporter and journalism teacher at ivy-covered Thorndyke University, Henrietta "Henrie O" Collins demands of her students the same steadfast dedication to the truth that was the cornerstone of her own illustrious career. So when beautiful, ambitious Maggie Winslow decides to investigate a trio of hitherto unresolved local crimes, Henrie O urges her to pursue the story with uncommon vigor.

But the gifted future journalist's zeal may have cost her her life. The next day Maggie's corpse is discovered in Lovers' Lane--the very site of one of the unsolved mysteries the extraordinary young woman was exploring at the time of her brutal, premature death. The police and the Thorndyke powers-that-be are rabidly against Henrie O's involvement in the case. But, for Maggie's sake, the stubborn, sixtysomething investigator is determined to dredge up a past everyone seems to want to keep buried even if it means placing herself firmly in a relentless killer's path.

Synopsis:

When ambitious, abrasive Maggie Winslow announces her intentions to investigate a trio of unsolved local crimes, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter-turned-journalism teacher, Henrietta "Henrie O" Collins, urges her talented student to pursue the story with uncommon vigor. But when Maggie's corpse is discovered the next day in Lovers' Lane--the site of one of the crimes the budding reporter was exploring--the guilt-stricken, sixty-something sleuth vows to get to the bottom of Maggie's murder, even if it means dredging up a past everyone seems to want to keep buried and placing herself firmly in a relentless killer's path.
