Channel Six television reporter Maxi Poole is on assignment to cover the murder of Gillian Rose, co-owner of one of the largest vitamin and herb retailers in the world. Arriving at the crime scene, Maxi studies Gillian's body, trying to piece together what happened. Days later, someone breaks into the home of Carter Rose, Gillian's husband, in a failed attempt to murder him. A shaken Carter asks Maxi for help in finding Gillian's killer. Maxi can't help being intrigued by the magnetic Carter Rose. His earnestness, surprising shyness, playful wit, and boyish good looks all add up to one deadly attractive package. As Maxi gets sucked into Carter's world, she has to confront his indiscriminate philandering and shadowy friends, that is if she isn't dumped from prime time by someone who intends to delete her from existence and consign her to every reporter's worst nightmare: the dead file.

A Maxi Poole Mystery

Only one thing's hotter than a Hollywood homicide- a five-foot-eight blonde in a miniskirt and spike heels chasing down a killer of a story!

THE REPORTER

TV reporter Maxi Poole can't take her eyes off the Lucite coffin that holds the corpse of Jack Nathanson, the Oscar-winning actor-and her ex-husband. Less clear than Lucite is who shot him in cold blood. Evidence points to his first wife, a gorgeous actress, but Maxi isn't convinced. Using her investigative skills and insider access, she uncovers a list of suspects: a mob-connected film studio exec, a deranged former child actor, and the last member of Nathanson's exclusive ex-wives club. But before Maxi can strap on her stiletto sandals and grab her camera crew, a shocking series of events rocks the City of Angels. From the beaches of Malibu to the lavish estates of Beverly Hills, THE REPORTER takes you on a tour de force of murder and intrigue in the company of a sexy, chic, and wickedly clever sleuth.

This critically acclaimed debut that established Kelly Lange as a sensational new voice in women's commercial fiction, offers another smart, breezy novel to rival the masters of the genre.
