A mystery/suspense thriller, "Deadline" is the story of young and
idealistic Hannah Tyler, a suburban San Diego high school English
and Journalism teacher, who becomes the common denominator in a
series of mysterious events linking her with a paradoxical
colleague, a hostile graduate, and two new, ambitious students. One
of the four is murdered and another is arrested in the case. A
third earns Hannah's trust only to betray her, and the fourth
becomes her unexpected ally. Nothing makes sense until the day a
gun comes into the school.
"An interesting read and a study on the state of today's schools
. . . 335 pages of twists and turns and story lines that could be
ripped from the headlines of any national newscast, from a teacher
having inappropriate relationships with teens to a student bringing
a handgun to school . . . Gilmore sets the framework to address and
explain trends in public education . . . keeps the story moving
quickly and squeezes debatable issues like teenage drug use into
the cracks of a fast-moving plot. It is a commendable first
effort."-"The Jackson Hole News"
"Gilmore does an excellent job of taking us into the world of
high-school journalism. As the class examines school violence,
drugs, and freedom of the press, we get a good look at the San
Diego setting as well as the problems of modern high
schools."-"Heartland Review"
