Black and White and Dead All Over
by John Darnton
The legendary New York Globe is on the ropes. Readership, advertising and circulation are all going down-along with the paper's vaunted standards. But that's nothing compared to the chaos that erupts one rainy September morning when the body of a powerful editor is found in the newsroom, an editor's spike hammered into his chest and an enigmatic note attached. The problem, a young NYPD woman detective soon discovers, is that there are so many suspects. She teams up with a clever and rebellious reporter and their investigation navigates ink-infested waters: a resentful old guard, a plagiarist, a corrupt security chief, a bumbling publisher, a scheming executive editor and a ruthless newspaper takeover tycoon named Lester Moloch-and that's only on the surface. Confusion multiplies along with the victims.
