""As an off-air TV news journalist, Khlóe Mercer covers the tough Norfolk, Virginia, neighborhood she grew up in. But between a hostile boss and stiff competition, she has to break a major exclusive to save her job--and lock down the coveted anchor desk slot she feels she deserves ... When a murder takes place on her home turf, Khlóe has easy access to the dirty truth behind it. But she'll have to decide whether to exploit every angle and leverage any favor to make her career explode big-time--or keep quiet and keep herself, and her family, safe ... Once the ruthless power brokers behind the hit put Khlóe in their sights, they start brutally cleaning up loose ends. Now with an inescapable target on her back and odds racking up against her, she'll find nowhere is safe, and ambition may be her most dangerous enemy"-- Provided by publisher
