Part of KEY News, book 10
First published 2007
Constance Young ruled morning television until someone left her dead at the bottom of her pool. The network star had been planning a major career move, ready to take her devoted viewers to a competing channel. Now she floats face down in chlorinated water, and the priceless unicorn amulet she wore that final night has vanished. The medieval artifact was destined for the Cloisters museum's upcoming Camelot exhibition. Eliza Blake knows the television world inside and out. She climbed from morning show regular to evening news anchor at KEY, and she recognizes a story when she sees one. Constance made enemies everywhere she went, leaving a trail of bitter rivals and burned bridges. As Eliza digs deeper into the circumstances surrounding Constance's death, the suspect list grows longer. Each new lead reveals another person with motive to silence the morning show queen permanently. But Eliza's investigation puts her directly in the crosshairs of whoever killed Constance. The murderer now sees Eliza as the next threat to eliminate.
