A New Jersey reporter investigates the suspicious death of a cop in the award-winning author's "tautly written page-turner with charm and humor" (Booklist, starred review).

As long as Newark Eagle-Examiner reporter Carter Ross turns in his stories on deadline, no one bats an eye at his late morning arrivals in the newsroom. So it's an unpleasant surprise when he's awakened at 8:38 a.m. by a phone call from his boss, telling him a local policeman was killed and to get the story. Shaking himself awake, Carter heads off to interview the cop's widow. And then he gets another call: the story's off, the cop committed suicide.

But Carter can't understand why a man with a job he loved, a beautiful wife, and plans to take his adorable children to Disney World would suddenly kill himself. And when Carter's attempts to learn more are repeatedly blocked, it's clear someone knows more than he's saying about the cop's death. The question is, who? And what does he have to hide? Carter, with his usual single-minded devotion to a good story -- and to the memory of a Newark policeman -- will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth.
