Description
A Connecticut crime reporter investigates the murder of an Ivy League escort in this award-winning mystery series debut. After a late night on the town, Connecticut crime reporter Annie Seymour only wants to sleep. But a call from her editor drags her to a cold, wet New Haven street, where she’s soon staring at the body of a curious murder victim. The young woman had been a Yale student by day and a high-priced escort by night. Eager to get the scoop, Annie quickly uncovers a trail of vice and fraud that leads to the city’s highest levels. Then comes the real shocker: Annie’s mother is involved. Now with the help of a sexy private investigator, Annie must uncover the truth, even as she’s forced to cover the surreal appearance of fiberglass cows placed in herds throughout the city. Out there is a killer story that can get Annie that elusive Pulitzer . . . or a mention in the next day’s obituary column. Winner of the Sara Ann Freed Memorial Award
