Irene Ingram has written for her fatherā€™s newspaper, the Progress Herald, ever since she could grasp a pencil. Now sheā€™s editor in chief, which doesnā€™t sit well with the men in the newsroom. But proving her journalistic bona fides is the least of her worries when crime reporter Moe Bauer, on the heels of a hot tip, turns up dead at the foot of his cellar stairs. An accident? Thatā€™s what Police Chief Walt Turner thinks, and Irene is inclined to agree until she finds the note Moe discreetly left on her desk. He was on to a big story, he wrote. The robbery sheā€™d assigned him to cover at Markowicz Hardware turned out to be something far more devious. A Jewish store owner in a small provincial town, Sam Markowicz had received a terrifying message from a stranger. Moe suspected that Sam was being threatened not only for who he wasā€¦but for what he knew. Tenacious Irene senses thereā€™s more to the Markowicz story, which she is all but certain led to Moeā€™s murder. When sheā€™s not filling up column inches with the usual small-town fareā€”locals in uniform, victory gardens, and scrap drivesā€”she and her best friend, scrappy secretary Peggy Reardon, search for clues. If they can find the killer, itā€™ll be a scoop to stop the presses. But if they canā€™t, Irene and Peggy may face an all-too-literal deadline.
