A Shot of Murder (A Charley Hall Mystery)

She's a reporter with a nose for trouble. But when the story is murder, will she end up above the fold or buried in the back?

1948: Kingston, Canada-Charley Hall knows she's a better reporter than any man in the newsroom. Demoted to the women's page, her job on the city beat given to a returning soldier, she shifts her energy to locating her brother who disappeared after his latest bender. Her search leads to the woman last seen with him, found dead with a bullet in her neck.

Driven to catch the killer and clear her brother's name, Charley encounters a mysterious cop from Toronto who's showing an intense interest in the case. But as she uncovers the victim's murky past, tracking down the shooter could land the intrepid journalist in the obituaries.

Can this gutsy gal prove her investigative skills and live to tell the tale?
